They sell these golf aids that attach to your knee and your head and are supposed to keep your swing correct. It's futile beyond belief.

I haven't had to do anything outside of show business my whole life. I've never been a waiter. I've only worked and gotten paid. It hasn't been a classic example of someone slogging through the business.
