...often it is more gun-toting brag than performance. Machos insist that the women they marry be virgins, and they will defend the honor of their sisters to the death-all of which makes their endless tales of conquest a statistical impossibility.

At 45, Silliphant and his one-man corporation gross a million a year, though for tax reasons he manages to hold his salary down to $145,000. This may or may not put him ahead of the world's other ranking apprentice writer, Novelist Mickey Spillane.
