page is titled Lorem Ipsum first clip: Joe Heller True story, Word of Honor: Joseph Heller, an important and funny writer now dead, and I were at a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island. I said, “Joe, how does it make you feel to know that our host only yesterday may have made more money than your novel ‘Catch-22' has earned in its entire history?" And Joe said, "I’ve got something he can never have." And I said, "What on earth could that be, Joe?" And Joe said, "The knowledge that I’ve got enough." Not bad! Rest in peace! – Kurt Vonnegut The New Yorker, May 16th, 2005 second clip: There were a few hustlers, who depended upon finding suckers for survival. And there were some who were too wise to hustle, who only wanted to have enough money to be able to afford to be a sucker. – Duke Ellington Music Is My Mistress

I set up a tumblr page 14 years ago with only two things on it. It has remained untouched ever since
One is the Heller story. I used to have the copy I clipped from The New Yorker hanging on my fridge
And then there's Duke Ellington:
"There were a few hustlers, who depended upon finding suckers for survival. And there were some who were too wise to hustle, who only wanted to have enough money to be able to afford to be a sucker."
