Al:

I apologise if I offended anyone. I have had the great luck
and good fortune to live through two of the greatest booms of
all time. The oil boom in Texas in the 40's and 50's and the
Bull Market which we have all enjoyed and continue to enjoy. In
Texas everyone made lots of money, fast money, easy money.
When the oil dried up, the money dried up, and everyone
was scratching just to make a living. All of us looked back
and wondered why in the world didn't we hang on to what we had.
That is where the saying came from. I can't take credit for
it, but I can sure relate to it. Enough rambling.
Again, I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
