Fat white man in a suit-
Though one time I was meeting an engineer at an outdoor site-
one of those firms I'd been talking to for years & never met in person
told him to look for a fat white man in a suit wearing cowboy boots-

for processing & they came back the whole office wanted to know how the
hell it was that he couldn't get a picture of a guy in a white cowboy
suit-

isn't everything, it's the only thing", "Be the ball", "A goalie is a
