Confession?  To working as a baggage handler to get through college, sure. 
To being a thief just because I was a baggage handler, about as much as your 
German heritage makes you a Nazi.

Not since last week.  Not again until the 17th and again on the 27th.  I 
don't knowd where you get your ideas, but you really should try to do 
better.  It's better to keep quiet and be thought a fool than to open your 
mouth and remove all doubt.
