The Bubble Predictions Continue…and Ted Knight
It’s easy to grin when your ships comes in and you have the stock market beat…but a man worthwhile is a man that can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat.. Ted Knight, Caddy shack I miss Ted Knight. I know this quote by heart and I learned it before I cared …
Laughs and Giggles …Better than Any Vitamins.
