Some Italian guy that only came once or twice a year.
But he always walked around and said, yeah, one of the world's great architects, Pete Dye, you know, he's got the lot.
We're neighbors.
You know, he's going to build and we're neighbors.
We're going to be neighbors.
I've got the lot right beside him.
He had this big, big Italian mausoleum looking home.
He came in town after Pete had built his house.
He got in at night, late at night.
So he got up the next morning and he was gonna go out back and jump in his pool.
And the story was he got up and walked out back to jump in his pool and looked out and saw Pete's house.
And his comment was, oh my God, the son of a bitch built five orange juice stands.
And Pete hooked up the irrigation system into his house from the golf course.
He hooked up the golf course irrigation system into his house for his plumbing.
And had a little too much pressure.
And they flushed the toilet, and the toilet just blew off.
It just completely just blew up into the air.
120 pounds of pressure.
And Alice said they turned the shower on, and he said, it would not only take the hair off your skin, it would take the skin off your bones, off your arms.
