    money: The filthy lucre we work ourselves to death to earn, scrimp and save every nickel, and if we are fortunate there will be enough to bury us when we drop dead of exhaustion.

    Retirement:
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...
