If it's not Lanza then I'm thinking of that boss in

Augustus, that was a very intelligent, logical, and well thought out response to my question. And on review, you picking Jimmy Lanza makes a helluva lot of sense. So bravo to you my friend!

But no, Lanza is also not the fella I'll be writing about.

But, once again, kudos to you for such an intelligent pick.
