Needed this today, with a rough start to the week (non-trading related). Love the Adler quote (had to check it was indeed THAT Adler) and the French accent.

Although, must confess from the title, I did momentarily visualize a knife-fight between you and a 5'2" Frenchman...the smaller the better...

Thanks, buddy. Sorry about the tough week, hope it's gotten better. Sometimes when I put the quote in, I think, "should I give some context?" For example, -- Steven Adler, drummer for GnR. But I think it's more fun if people find out for themselves.

I never cut myself during any drunken escapades, but I definitely dropped my Nokia phone from my back pocket into the toilet a handful of times. My dad really wondered WTF I was doing. 🤣

Funny, I've never done the phone in the toilet thing...but my kids have.
