I find it rather easy to portray a businessman. Being bland, rather cruel and incompetent comes naturally to me.

Good one Roffen.
I wonder, who that could be... now we're all going to start guessing.
I've heard that before, though, and different variants.
I think what could be classified as the original is this one by W.C. Fields:
I'm free of all prejudices. I hate everyone equally

Thanks Laluu, I will use your reference from now on instead... it's got more leverage when someone famous says it  Besides, don't waste your thought guessing my individual, I doubt any of you even met the individual

Not even death.

The article above is about when it's ok for men to cry. The following quote is from the "comments" section where readers share their experiences and say when they feel it's ok to cry.
For me, it is Conan the Barbarian. In particular, when the hero's girlfriend makes a deal with her own life to bring him back from the grave, and tells him: "All the gods they cannot sever us - if I were dead and you still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness, back from the pit of hell to fight by your side." Gets me *every* time - in fact I'm welling up just recalling it. I've tried to tell my wife that it is the most romantic film ever made. And tried to include that speech in our wedding vows. But she remains unconvinced...
