Shoot, Citi finds $500 million in the cushions of the sofa. When I was there, they had $4.5 billion reserved for exposure to Worldcom and Enron. I got into a bit of hot water when they forced us to watch a video from Citi. In his introduction to the video, the branch manager, a Nut Job Republican all the way, mentioned that the bank was created by Republicans. Then, he looked at me and smiled: "What do you think of that statement, Michael?" Knowing I should bite my tongue, I simply said, "that certainly explains the four and a half bil reserved for criminal behavior." Then, it turned out that the video was designed to remind everyone of how honest the company is and why the current bad press, as they referred to it (the $4.5 billion, being kicked out of Japan for being crooked, and being censored by The European Economic Union). was just a temporary example of media gone wild. <G>

Prince: "When the music stops, in terms of liquidity, things will be complicated," he said. "But as long as the music is playing, you've got to get up and dance. We're still dancing." Dead musician: When the music's over When the music's over, yeah When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights, yeah When the music's over When the music's over When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights For the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection Send my credentials to the House of Detention I got some friends inside The face in the mirror won't stop The girl in the window won't drop A feast of friends "Alive!" she cried Waitin' for me Outside! Before I sink Into the big sleep I want to hear I want to hear The scream of the butterfly Come back, baby Back into my arm We're gettin' tired of hangin' around Waitin' around with our heads to the ground I hear a very gentle sound Very near yet very far Very soft, yeah, very clear Come today, come today What have they done to the earth? What have they done to our fair sister? Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn And tied her with fences and dragged her down I hear a very gentle sound With your ear down to the ground We want the world and we want it... We want the world and we want it... Now Now? Now! Persian night, babe See the light, babe Save us! Jesus! Save us! So when the music's over When the music's over, yeah When the music's over Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Turn out the lights Well the music is your special friend Dance on fire as it intends Music is your only friend Until the end Until the end Until the end!
