And a brief SI quote:

Luther Lassiter, world pocket billiards champion, who claims he has never worked since he carried groceries for 8¢ an hour when he was 15: "I like to ride bicycles, walk in the woods, just walk around, sit on the curb. Like the old Greeks, I want to contemplate life. Let the women do the work."
