Yeah, I memorized it too. Ok, not really. But I read it thoroughly. And got scared. And then not so scared when I remembered, "um $12,500 is still $12,500 more than I had before even if I never make that much again," and plus I can always write Blaze novels and revitalize my career. Yays.

Very educational.
