Oh sure, that's exactly what I'd expect you to say Mike. After all, you're
the one who gets taken to the meets on the USPA corporate jet every month
at our expense. And then there's those expensive lobster dinners and 
champagne parties that the gear dealers keep giving you. I've seen them!
And let's not forget about that Jimmy Hoffa night jump cover up thing.
Just because the USPA keeps you supplied in caviar, cocaine and blonds
don't think the rest of us will go along with your game.
