There's a sucker born every minute.

Clearly this phrase is as relevant today as it was back when it was first spoken.
People have and always will be suckered into quick money scheme.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin.
Could have been three or four six-packs,
I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in,
My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die,
Tell me, me oh me oh my,
Wasn't that a party?
