Have you guys read "A Man In Full" by Tom Wolfe?

It's about a big wheeler-dealer guy who falls on hard times.

There's a scene where he meets with the bankers. He figures he'll just glide in, tell them he needs an extension, and that will be the end of it.

Instead, the banker's workout guy gives him "saddlebags".

You really have to read it, the most hysterical thing I have ever read.
