You're right, David. That's exactly what I have. All the time in the world.
When I speak of time, gentlemen, I'm referring to the fourth dimension.
Why is it that we usually ignore the forth dimension? Because we have no freedom of movement within it. You see, we can move in the other three: Up, down, forward, sideways, backward, but when it comes to time, we are prisoners.
