Pants on Fire

Coincidentally, just as I am reconsidering re-igniting my senatorial campaign, a friend of mine--of the half-a-century sort--suggests I write my memoir. With nary a concern on his part, he urges I revisit the highs, the lows, the inbetweens.  

Incidentally, my campaign manager, who is yet to be contacted much less hired, would certainly grab a hold of potential highlights for flyers, tweets, IG and Facebook posts, and email blasts.

I suppose I could begin at an early age as most folks do. However....

Most incredibly, George called last week to get my go ahead for Carolina Kaple and the Ruins of Dzibilchaltun. Of course the details are only loosely based on my experiences while visiting a completely different continent. However....

While I am inclined to zip through my schooling, one anecdote seems worth noting. Actually, a simple clerical error led me to a doctorate in entomology rather than etymology. In any case, was not Oxford, oh no indeed sir or madam, rather Cambridge granted the degree.

Pursuant to the publication of my 12th work of nonfiction, I was charged by the American Academy of Arts and Letters to write Walt Whitman and the American Vagabond Tradition based on an essay written my junior year in high school. I am not altogether certain, but I suspect it will be shortlisted for a Pulitzer in 2024.

Most people--or those who know me well--would be surprised, even gaga, at the fact I have submitted an analysis of the Goldbach Conjecture (his original conjecture) that states "at least it seems that every number that is greater than 2 is the sum of 3 primes" so even a 5-year-old would understand. That theory remains untested. However....

One confusion, financially-speaking, is easily set aright. The $1.5 million dollars given to the Coral Reef Alliance is not the largest donation I have made to date. These funds came by way of selling my Long John Silvers franchise.

And, yes, I did turn down a stint as guest-host for The Daily Show. However, not without suggesting my replacement. Guess you're welcome, Al Franken.

Surely, there is more, much more. So until the pudding is stirred....
