About This Quote
"When you had a girl, one of the great things about having a girl was that she had all these moods. She could be really nice. She could be really mean. You never knew which one she would be next. Now, with an economy, its like we're stuck with this chick that we can't get out of bed and we're trying to keep her on life support and we're just not getting very far."
