Clive Endive Ogive IV belongs to at least 17 exclusive private clubs-certainly all the ones that matter. The fact that he has a Roman numeral IV after his name and is exclusive heir to a trust fund with annual interest sufficient to pay all his annual club dues in perpetuity-and also somehow manages to write all this money off on his taxes as "legitimate business deductions"-is more than enough to qualify him to author this groundbreaking and aweinspiring book.
