airports in texas, chicago, or atlanta
comics at casinos that now charge $300 a ticket
enlightenment from the dalai lama (he can be found at a nearby 'W' hotel)
erudite midgets (you can't talk down to them)
lawyers (they talk down to you)
octogenarian surgeons (no doctor, that's my stomach')
politicians, enough said
saying anything politically incorrect (there is a lawyer and a video cam watching you, always)
sushi on sundays
very inexpensive chinese or indian lunch buffets (your stomach will thank you tomorrow)
