View my first book (age 7 years)

Some people say--correctly, I think--that I have a short span of interest. Certainly my curriculum vitae would suggest something like that. I started my career as a bank teller in Sutton West, Ontario, then, at the age of 15 years, I went to Toronto where I landed a job as a layout artist at Simpson-Sears, catalogue division. Part of my job was to airbrush away the noticeable male "bulges" on the underwear pages. The most heartbreaking job I ever had!

From there I became a draftsman until I decided that being a cinema manager sounded like more fun. It wasn't, so I next took a job as head of the art department at Columbia Records (Canada). Needing a change, I went back to school for a while (York University) and emerged with degrees in political science and law. Meanwhile, I financed all this with a variety of gainful pursuits; such as restaurant manager and dance instructor with Latin America Dance Studios (owned by a Jewish chap). I also got myself elected as a municipal councillor in the township of Georgina.

Having a degree in political science, and needing money, I took a job as a bureaucrat; however, after being a dance instructor fending off love-starved matrons the bureaucracy seemed rather dull; therefore, I became a college professor. Moreover, although I started off teaching politics and law, I retired my career teaching history.

The moral of this story: a change is as good as a rest.

Government: The nine most feared words in the English language are, "I'm from government and I'm here to help you."

Democracy: It is the equal opportunity for any, otherwise incompetent nincompoop to get a job as a politician.

Education: We are heavy on knowledge and light on common sense.

Education: If education took place on the 'streets' we'd be the smartest society in history.

Religion: If you must believe in something, choose Santa Claus. He never started a war or held an inquisition.

Children: "Anyone who hates kids and dogs can't be all bad." - W.C. Fields

Other peoples' kids: I never had any children of my own, so why am I paying for everyone else's?

Physical appearance: My looks are other peoples" problem because I look just fine from this side.
