That could well have been a law partner of my brother. He owned a  
Mustang in which he used to fly from Chicago to Florida on weekends,  
usually accompanied by a very toothsome morsel whom he wanted to  
impress. He couldn't get insurance on the plane. Every time he took  
off he said that he felt as if he was flying with a big bag of money  
hung out of the cockpit.
