Ali Baba &
the Forty Thieves
The Story


Mrs. Kasim and I have been happily married for several years. The key to our marital bliss? Quite simply, we agree about many things. For example, we both enjoy having money, and we never pass up a chance to get more. In other words, when opportunity knocks, roll out the red carpet!


Excerpt from "Do What You Gotta Do":

Mrs. Kasim: Hey honey,
Kasim: Yes dear?
Mrs. Kasim: I've been thinkin'
Kasim: What's that dear?
Mrs. Kasim: However did we get where we are?
Kasim: Well, honey
Mrs. Kasim: Yes, dear?
Kasim: It's kind of funny
Mrs. Kasim: What, dear?

Kasim: It really wasn't that hard
A little bit of luck, and a little common sense
And a willingness to peek over your neighbor's fence
A simple little rule locked away inside my head. . .
Mrs. Kasim: Oh yeah, what's that?
Kasim: You do what you gotta do to get ahead!
Mrs. Kasim: Oh, yeah! Do what you gotta do to get ahead!
