Acknowledgements

The following provided much of the inspiration for this book

Bargain brand beer

Cheap rock gut plastic bottle whiskey

Sleep Deprivation

I would also like to thank the following individuals

My drug dealing neighbor who did not press charges against me and moved away when I threatened to kill him

The angry hippy in the produce section at the grocery store that I sprayed with the water hose

The Department of Veterans Affairs for pushing me past the point of insanity

The very liberal / communist doctor in Wilmington, NC that asked me if I have righted the wrongs for my service in Iraq, his leg comes out of the cast soon, and his ribs and facial bones are healing nicely

A big thanks to everyone that has tried to push me past the breaking point of rationalization and clinical insanity.

You’re Welcome

Finally

In the slim chance that Geraldo Rivera is reading this book, I have one message for you

#@!% YOU !!!!!!!!

Also, Geraldo, when that big wave during the hurricane that swept you away, there was a reason nobody came to help you, because you are an ass, and most of the country was hoping you had been eaten by a shark

I hope all is well, and you choke on rotten milk
