One thing I like to do to cope with fuel prices approaching $4 a gallon is to remember that I'm filthy stinking rich. I remind myself that not everyone is so dirty wealthy, and also that I should probably sell oil. If I'm not already. Am I? I will have to check on that. It's a great idea. Love it.

But I do believe it is important to conserve fuel. If I am going to live forever as planned, Earth's precious resources are going to be important (to me) for a very long time. So I've made some simple lifestyle changes that really anyone could do:

• I cut back on firing people in person. Terminating them via videoconferencing is a great energy-saving measure. Also, because employees consume resources, I fire extra people now. A good rule of thumb is that for every one underperformer you need to cut loose, get rid of two more people at the same time. Any two, doesn't matter who. You'll really see results quickly. I did and I love it.
• When I gas up the 727, I no longer top off the tank. When you top off, you always spill some extra fuel on the tarmac. Over time it really adds up.
• I don't get married as often as I used to. Elaborate weddings at Mar-a-Lago chew through power like crazy. Sometimes keeping one wife for ten or fifteen years can be almost as good as two or three.

I know it is hard to make sacrifices, but all have to pitch in. I'm doing my part so you better do yours.
