OPINION AND ORDER
HAL J. BONNEY, Jr., Bankruptcy Judge.
Holy smoke!
Have they nothing else to do?
The United States Trustee would sink a sailor because he is eating too much on the U.S.S. Iowa 1 , is smoking too many cigarettes, his wife and daughter, too, his wife is committed to Alcoholics Anonymous, his teenage children require braces and, shame of shames, they are just living a mite too high on the hog 2 to qualify for relief in straight, Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If the ’crats must eat sow belly, everyone else must eat sow belly.
We can envision the headlines now:
U.S. TRUSTEE ATTACKS U.S.S. IOWA…
