I want to see "Frugal Eye For The Wasteful Guy", where 5 grumpy old men who grew up during the Great Depression teach Gray Davis to stop spending money. I can just see it now:

"And Gray, if you just issue a memo ordering all state employees to turn off the lights when they leave a room, you could save a lot of money. But make it a short memo and print out several copies per page, then use a paper cutter. You'll get 3 times as many memos per page and save paper."

"Tell the police they can walk! When I was a kid the cops walked the beat instead of spending money on cars and gasoline. And one cop had to walk back and forth across the neighborhood through 3 feet of snow. Uphill both ways!"

Wow, I bet there are a lot of "X eye for the Y guy" possibilities out there!... "Thin eye for the fat guy" or "Pig sty for the anal retentive guy" (or vice versa) or "Stud eye for the loser guy"...
