And I had a column in the school newspaper.

So this is in college.

I have a column in the school newspaper.

So, of course, somewhere in my brain, what I'm thinking is I can use this column to

to interview professors and and introduce professors to the rest of the college which on its face seems like a very nice thing to do but of course i'm bartering with the with the um with the professors for grades i mean basically i'll give you a good i'll give you a good column right if i'm gonna get a good grade but i'll thank you if you're gonna get a bad grade and so

I'm doing this and it becomes, I guess, kind of obvious to the administration what I'm doing because I'm basically running roughshod over everything.

And the president of the school brought me up to his office in the tower and he just looked at me and he said to me, look, what are you doing here?

I mean, these are like phys ed majors and these are fine arts majors.

Like, what are you doing here?

And I told him a story about how my father lost his business and all.

And he said, listen, we just can't have you do this anymore.

Like, you know, you got to like chill.

And he says, how do you know, how do we get you to stop?

And I said, write my, um,

write a recommendation for me to get into law school and I'll retire.

And he said, done.

And I gave up the column the next week and he gave me a glowing recommendation.

And a few months later, I got into law school.

Well, I wound up going to New York law school.

I got it, but I had to follow the money.
