Several I have seen, yet some new ones in the mix for me. Thanks.
I remember reading a story about Mark Twain in his later years. He was very deep in debt as he was always looking for the next get-rich scheme and they usually fail. So he had to go out on the lecture tour to make money to pay back his creditors. He rented cats so that he would have cats with him during his travels.
