John, Bruno was a hero, though I never met him. He rarely wrestled on our shows and when he did, they didn't need me. <g> My only reason for the part time job was because I had a trick leg press routine I used to work at the gym for bets (I leg pressed 400 LBS 100 times in less than 3 minutes). That impressed a wrestler who also worked out at the gym and he suggested I try out for a school. They were free and part time in those days. I soon found out that my natural clumsiness and the fact my upper body strength didn't match my lower body strength meant I had no star potential. I am a big guy, but the wrestlers weren't quite as big back in those days. Less knowledge of steroids and growth hormones. <g> I hate IBM stock. See the article in this Sunday's New York Times. It is one of the most overpriced stocks in the world. Their hardware sales are in the toilet and I have reason to suspect they are under bidding on their service contracts. Right now it is an accounting machine and that is all. I own puts and will buy a second third if it goes higher today.
