Interviewer: How does it feel to be a billionaire?

Ted: Not even as good as mediocre sex.

Somehow that's stuck with me....

It really does make a person stop and look where I have been and what could be in my future.
However Mr. Turner may not be present in the "next world" as he's missing religion.

Maybe he just needs to make a big donation to buy his way in? He could always claim that the dementia made him do it!

BH: she had a genius level IQ , was principal of a high school and had to go on SSDI because she couldn’t work. She was able to drive for years but could only talk about the past. By 62 she had to quit driving but could still shower and dress herself. Then her husband died of cancer and having no family still alive I had to put her in a home. Within a month she couldn’t do anything for herself. It was depression and within 3 months her cancer came back and I didn’t treat it. She was miserable and it was so sad. She died a year and a half later.
