Chapter I
Being two men rolled out of one would solve my problems--but which one would I be? I suppose that every guy reaches a point once in his lifetime when he gets one hundred and forty per cent fed up with his wife. Understand now--I've got nothing against marriage or any thing like that. Marriage is great. It's a good old red-blooded American Institution.
