"In Bellflower in '68, here's this skinny pimple-faced kid thirteen years old, that two weeks in a row busted the ring pay-ball game on the Snooker table with the best players in California – and road players – it was Keith McCready. He would sleep under the tables, on the bench – he was thirteen. So I said, don't think I'm butting in your business, but don't you go to school? He said, ‘Nah, I got thrown out of school. They threw me out.' So I said, for what? He said, ‘For having too much money.' So I said, you want to elaborate on that? He said, ‘Elaborate, what's that mean?' I said, tell more about it. So now he says he went to Phys-Ed and goes up to the Phys-Ed teacher and says, ‘Would you hold my money? I don't wanna put it in my locker; someone might steal it. Would you hold my money?' The teacher said, ‘Yeah, I'll hold it. How much?' Keith says, ‘Twelve thousand. So they threw me out for having too much money.' "
