I found this quote by Robert Heinlein so intriguing I'm stealing borrowing it from Jonah Goldberg and an anonymous correspondent over at The Corner:

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Well . . . I can change a diaper.

Great quotation.

I can change a diaper and balance accounts. And I sailed a boat in the Keys once, does that count? Looks like there's a few things I should investigate...

I wonder if Heinlein does his own income taxes.

[Dan Gill]

Not anymore, he doesn't do his own taxes.

[Gina Dalfonzo]

Yes, I'm afraid Mr. Heinlein has left the building.

[Joe Dalfonzo]

Under your seat you will find a bottle of Scotch . . .
