They had to be people of similar size. We had 15 different guys try them two days at a time. At the end of the trial, 14 swore it was the best thing in the world. The 15th guy was neither here nor there. It's unusual to have 15 guys agree.

We always had money problems. Sometimes I would lie awake at night wondering how to pay the rent.
