Welcome, ‏to Friday September 17, 2010.  In 1923, Who Was…

1. President of the largest steel company?

2. President of the largest gas company?

3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?

4. Greatest wheat speculator?

5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?

6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the worlds most successful of their days.

Now, 82 years later, history tells us what ultimately became of them.

The Answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company. Charles Schwab, died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home

4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.

5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself.

6 The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide.

However, in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open,
was Gene Sarazen. So, what became of him? He played golf until he was 92, and died in 1999 at the ripe old age of 95! He was *very* financially secure at the time
of his death.  The moral here: Forget work. Play golf! Hey I’m just saying! Have an interesting  Friday people, and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace I am outta here!

My dear friend, a divorcee, never remarried, and her daughter wanted to know why. “The men I know would bring too much heavy baggage to the marriage and I simply don’t want to put up with it,” she explained. Taking her mother’s hand in hers, my friend’s daughter said sweetly, “I hate to break the news to you, Mom, but you’re not exactly carry-on yourself.”

Answer:  Real Genius! Brainiac college students just want to graduate, but are taken advantage of by their corrupt professor, who is trying to build an orbital laser weapon for the military. The students find out and get the last laugh! One of Val Kilmar’s first film roles, “Real Genius” is a fast-paced film and the viewer is bombarded with gags and lines constantly. This is a throw-away line of Chris Knight’s (Val Kilmar) that is used as Mitch (Gabriel Jarret) enters their dorm room and sees him standing on his head for no apparent reason. Chris Knight: “What I can’t figure out is how to keep the change in my pockets…I know! Nudity!”
