INTRODUCTION

Why we wrote this book

The inspiration for this book came when Felix saw what the car payment would be on a new Porsche Boxster. He came to me and said, “Dude, I gotta write a book.” Okay, you know we're kidding, but admit it—don't you secretly wish that for once, when someone was doing something strictly for the money, they'd just come out and say so. Just once, wouldn't you like to hear someone admit it? Well, I hate to disappoint you, but I can tell you unequivocally that Felix and I absolutely did not write this book for the money. We wrote it to get free drugs. All authors get free drugs—it's in every book contract. Always has been.
