That's so sweet, but so unlikely. I've heard those words many times. Come to think of it, I've said those words many times, even though I've hardly ever seen it work out. The best example in my life came when my parents heard about a bunch of 15-year-olds who had talked their older friends with licenses into letting them drive around the local shopping-center parking lot after hours, creating havoc.

That entitles each of them to $12.4 million pretax dollars--or the equivalent of a try-harder-next-year Christmas bonus for high-level bankers at Goldman Sachs. All the Lucky 13 remained anonymous, except John Jarrell, a 34-year-old father of three, who told reporters that one of his first purchases will be a Harley-Davidson for his wife that will match...
