When business leaders ask me what they can do for Indiana, I always reply: 'Make money. Go make money. That's the first act of corporate citizenship. If you do that, you'll have to hire someone else, and you'll have enough profit to help one of those non-profits we're so proud of.' ↗

Bananas are great, as I believe them to be the only known cure for existential dread.

So half of them go bad, anyway. ↗

Honestly, at one time I though Babe Ruth was a cartoon character. I really did, I mean I wasn't born until 1961 and I grew up in Indiana. ↗

Well, I guess I needed this tough first round to really put me into that tournament, to really erase what happened at Indian Wells, which is now the case, you know. ↗

I don't know much about my family history except that my father had straight black hair and his ancestors probably came from India. ↗
