A boy leaves home for his first semester at college. His father gives him some money for books and incidental expenses. The money is intended to last the entire semester. Within a month, the son calls the father, informs his Dad that he is broke and asks for additional money.
“What did you do with all the money I gave you last month?” asks Dad?
“Well,” the son replies, “ninety percent of it I spent chasing women and drinking beer. The rest I just wasted.”
Dwight, don't you want to at least nod in the direction of the late Frank Edwin McGraw, Jr., whose words you paraphrase? Tug's quip, when asked what he would do with his World Series share, was Ninety percent I'll spend on good times, women and Irish Whiskey. The other ten percent I'll probably waste.
