Some Excerpts

Well, you see, my personal assistant Sandy "Chandler" Shelton knew that I bore a more than passing resemblance to a certain Vincent from New York City. She didn't like it when folks called me "Vincent" since obviously, HE is not ME. [Now, it didn't bother me at ALL to have women think of me as that Vincent guy - he must get a LOT of action, judging from how many ladies like to...er...um...fondle me.] Anyway, she began calling me Bubba to distinguish me from him. I like it. It's a nice manly name.

I wasn't in the greatest of shape when Chan came to work for me. She got me squared away. I remember getting my nails done by a professional manicurist, and a trip to a hair salon for a great comb-out. When I looked as good as it's possible to look (and in my humble opinion, that's pretty darn good!), Chan drove me around Oscoda, Michigan, to let my admiring public see me. I was quite popular around town. Became something of a local legend. Of course, it's a pretty small town!

Nope, this boy don't travel [out of the country]. Never managed to get a passport, and I can't figure out how those seat belts work on planes. Besides, I may look sturdy, but I'm not as young as I used to be, and I'm a bit more fragile than people give me credit for. But that's OK, I've been all over the U.S., traveling in everything from the back seat of cars to boxed up in the back of a UPS truck. I'm a well-traveled guy!
