"Florida’s a great place for folks in their old age…an’ it helps them get there faster, too. You go down for a change and a rest; the bellboy gets the change, an' the hotel gets the rest. The day I checked out they gave me a bill which looked like the distance to the farthest star computed in inches, an’ if I hadn't been able to leave behind me a suitcase containin’ ten thousand shares in a copper mine which may be discovered in Colorado some day, I would o’ felt mighty guilty slidin’ down that rainspout."
