Tom,

I'm not a slave to fashion, but "Nick my gelt you <Chekov>" - sorry, I wasn't
sure what the code word for the naughty term "asshole was - is one of the
vocal ad lib lines in the outro to "Did You Steal My Money."

By the way, if "geld" is the German word for money, then is a "gelding" a
German person with a lot of money?  If so, I wish I were a gelding!

Well, at least I don't wish I were German...
