as Big Bill Haywood once said

when IWW and Western Federation of Miners leader, Big Bill Haywood, was asked by a reporter why he smoked an expensive cigar he replied "Nothing is too good for the working class". In my case, my job means that I can have summers off. (Woo-hoo!) I make no apologies for cruising and I make lots of sacrifices the rest of the year to be able to do it. I'm just as much a member of the proletariat as a mine worker, an auto worker (which I used to be), or a hospital worker. If you could see how I live the rest of the year (and even how I go cruising), you'd know I don't 'have it made': wish I did, though - then I'd retire and go cruising full-time.
