No- I meant Bernie Maddox- a boyhood pal from my youth growing up in the Queen City-- old Bernie (really Bernard, with proper homage to the great Bernard Damascus barrels- this is, after all, a shotgunner's forum. n'ces pas???
Old Bernie was a dead-ringer for the infamous Alfred E. Neumann, the "What-Me Worry?" cover boy for MAD magazine-- whenever old Bernie pulled a fast one over on us- and he was a slick as snot on a Tiffany glass doorknob- he would cackle and quote Eric Blair- aka- George Orwell-'s classic "roman a clef" from Animal farm--
I would NEVER quote or even give a slapshot mention of that Goniff- Bernie Madoff here- or elsewhere-- too many hard working decent folks lost their entire life savings to his greedy Ponzi scheme. Some have said that even every evil person has at least one good quality- ie: Hitler loved dogs- etc. But I defy anyone to find one for this Madoff "Struz"__!!
