I'm going to close now with a story that I am sure that most of you don't know. It seems that several years ago Judge Russell actually passed on and he went on and he met St. Peter, and St. Peter -- Judge Russell got into an argument with him. He said, "I shouldn't be here. This is the prime of my life." St. Peter looked it up and he said, "Judge Russell, you're right. You shouldn't be here. We've made a mistake. You've got 20 more years on this earth." So they sent him back, and when Judge Russell got back he said, "You know, I've been known for all my life as Dapper Dan. I've always dressed fine and proper." He said, "I'm going to change my lifestyle." So he went down to his favorite clothing store Hudson's and bought him a leather jacket. You know, it didn't have that much smoky smell to it. He put on his leather jacket and he got him a helmet that had some Bullwinkle gargles on it and some boots and bought him a Harley Davidson. He changed his image totally. So the first time down the street though an 18-wheeler came along and just wiped him out. Right
