That's high. I was on TV. The Ask Asa show on fox in NY. During 911 my Sprint phone bill had charges of over 5,000 that I didn't make from all of these different countries and of course they wanted me to pay so I submitted an email to them and got the charges removed.

Miles has been in TV too. The Spanish Channel Univision. They were mocking Latin celebrities with doggie lookalikes. It was very funny lol.

I had my 5 seconds of fame back around 1976. And it was literally 5 seconds. A classmate recognized me in a TV segment on a book related to Richard Nixon. I was caught on tape idly flipping through the pages of the book, and I was not aware I was being taped. I never saw the segment.

Aren't there already most things created for left handed people as well?
