Here we are working ourselves into an early grave and we never take a rest. What if we are co-presidents of the Allen-Coppage Banana Oil Refineries. That constitutes success, not longer life. Sherrill: Guess you're right, old boy. Let's tiike a car and start out to see all of our old chums from Leyden. Drop in on each one and surprise them. Eh? Hodge: Now that’s an idea!
