Some Great Failures.

Quite a few years ago, I, with a few doctors, attempted to purchase the Dunes Hotel (does not exist now), in Las Vegas, Nevada. We were going to turn the 2nd floor into a 'Surgery Center' and turn the 3rd floor into a Conference Center for Health Science Professional's. Think about it, Plastic Surgery, Conference's, Night Shows, Gambling, Rest and Relaxation, and as 'icing' on the cake, a total write-off on your taxes.

Ran for the Senate, need I say more.

Never made it past the 3rd grade, but I am still working on it. Failed 'Tying Shoes'.

NOTE: After reading From Dawn to Decadence by Jacques Barzun for the second time, I have decided that I really only have the equivallent of a 2nd grade education.
