I did not tell the pretty lady that I could cure the year 2000 stomach flu. There is not a doctor in the world who will have the slightest success in curing that. I simply told her that if she took my special pills once a night with a bottle of brandy...it would kill most of the bugs in her stomach. I really hate being called a con man for trying to help people. As a matter of public interest, I was able to take my meager profits to the race track and bet it on a front runner--a real speedster drawing the inside post. To shorten a long story...I made enough to pay for my trumped up fine (Master Miller proved to be a jockey worthy of the occasion; it was only a maiden race, but he is someone to keep an eye on). BTW, I was profoundly sorry to hear about the fresh air that leaked into your cave. I do hope the inconvenience was temporary :)...
