So what do you think?
WeII, I'II take it.
Must've been 20 peopIe
Iook at that room this past year.
No phone, no teIevision,
no conditioned air,...
..no toIerance for the fragrance of nature.
Nobody wanted it. How come you do?
You're just too persuasive for me, I guess.
It ain't the money,
but if I don't charge you,...
..the Presbyterians are IikeIy
to pray for my ruination.
