﻿Unpadded Figures Don’t Lie; (Liars Do Figure) 
T-BONE SLIM. 

A prominent man Is not one who stands head and shoulders above others . . . Prominence is measured by the amount of room he requires.— Not by what sticks up, but what sticks out . . . 

On the other hand: Hunger doesn’t run in sizes, like shoes—A large hunger and a small hunger are of the same denomination. 

Any man may become prominent if he eats the “same chuck” that a parasite eats. 

“I wish I had a million dollars,” he said— “Well sir”, said I, if I had a million . . . I wouldn’t work this afternoon.” 
— “Why you’re, crazy man”, he replied— “Now, you wouldn’t think It, but Im worth $10,000 yet I work every day—If I didn’t, well, I’d go crazy, that all. . .” 
— He emphasizes he isn’t crazy! 

He owns three “homes” still he doesn’t live in them— No. — He pays rent on the fourth one. His own property he rents out, to others, at higher rates. (Than his kindly landlord charges) 
— That is how he made the $10,000. 

All these latte years he has worked for nothing. (The three “places” were left him by his father, who used to get paid, for work.) 

Worked for nothing, did I say? He doesn’t work . . . He dashes from place to place, busy as a cat covering Hmburger on a marble top table, accomplishing nothing. 

It’s, “good morning Mr. Boss.”— “Yes sir, yes sir, . . . right away, sir—Sir?—Oh, sir, I was so busy.
