Greece's history in the drachma was an up-and-down history, a roller coaster.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife. From my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you.

I got a man cave. I play my music loud. I bought big speakers because I need to hear music loud.

Elvis couldn't leave the hotel except under heavy guard. It was incredible how they went wild over him.
