this has been brought up before, and i think most of us came to the conclusion that it's Carlson ifyouknowwhati'msayinandithinkyoudo
It's Carl Carlson. I don't know Lenny's but I think it was said once.

I don't remember if there was.
Based on Carl's last name, I would think "Leonard" would be a good last name. Carl Carlson and Lenny Leonard.

1F03 "Marge on the Lam":
Homer wants to hang out with his buddies since Marge has been spending more time with Ruth. He calls Lenny, Mr. Burns, and Ned Flanders. Lenny says that he can't make it because he is watching sports on TV. In actuality he is shaving a woman's legs.

I think it was Marge on the Lam, the show that was a parody of Thelma and Louise.
Yeah, but when Marge was the listen lady Lenny said that Carl was coming over for dinner, and to see his beauty queen wife. Lenny then confessed he was not even maried.

Carl once said "I can't feed my family with a codpiece!" which leads me to believe he has a wife and kids to support.

Carl or Lenny?.... Lenny does live in that really nice apartment, (wih the Jai Alai court)... He's always hit me as being a serious bachelor.
but then again in an earlier episode (where marge is in real estate) he is in a shack eating food from a can....the wall falls down and he says something like "please dont tell people how i live!"
maybe he won lotto

Naw, he saved money for years by living like a pauper, then splurged.
I know a guy who did that. He came over from Egypt with like a hundred dollars, got a job as a janitor making about $6.70/hour starting and worked a LOT of overtime, lived with his sister for really cheap, hardly spent a dime, then at the end of three years he bought a house and paid $70,000 cash for it. It was kind of beat up inside and out but it was structurally sound He put siding and new shingles on it, landscaped the yard and remolded the inside. With his improvements and the rising cost of housing it's now worth like $135 grand. I love the way in America a guy can start with next to nothing and three years later own a house free and clear if he is willing to work his ass off for a while.

Pretty much anywhere in the US. The incident I described happened in Minneapolis. Could it happen in Canada? I don't know but I don't doubt it, their economy is pretty good too. There are a lot of countries where this kind of thing simply cannot happen.

That gives me an idea! I think the math is a little off though, unless he worked a ton of overtime. Working full-time at $6.70 an hour, he only made around $1000 per month before taxes.

You need to read more carefully. :-) I said he "worked a LOT of overtime" and I also said that he STARTED at $6.70/hour.
When you work overtime, you generally get paid 1.5x your base pay. On his job, though, if you worked more than 12 hours in one day, anything over 12 was double time. He worked double shifts six days a week, in fact he was the only person who ever worked there who was so reliable he was actually scheduled to work double shifts. Here's the math:
Double shift = 16 hours. Monday through Friday, this means 8 hours of regular time, 4 hours of time-and-a-half, and four hours of double time. On weekends, it means 12 hours of time-and-a-half, and 4 hours of double time.
40 hours @ 6.70 = 268.00
32 hours @ 10.05/hour = 321.60
24 hours at 13.40/hour = 321.60
That means $911.20 per week before taxes, or 46,096 per year (including two weeks of vacation time, straight pay only).
And that's calculating everything at the *starting pay*. The starting pay was increased after six months, then a yearly increase six months after that, plus there were two cost-of-living increases negotiated by the union during that time. By the end of the period he worked overtime, he was making a little over ten dollars per hour straight pay. Oh, and I forgot to mention the shift differential (25 cents extra per hour for working the night shift.) As you can see, even after taxes it's not hard to make $70,000 after three years of this.
Now, working 96 hours a week is exhausting, but it can be done for a time. After a couple years, you can drop down to regular hours and with the money buy a house or college education.

Hopefully he returned the favor after he bought the house.

Actually, he could have easily done it without living with his sister. Apartments near where he worked could be had for $300 a month for a one-bedroom, heat and all utilities included except electric.
He would if she wanted to stay with him, but since she was married and had kids, it wasn't practical.
"That Guy" wrote in message news:...
Well, "easily" is obviously a relative term. I was intrigued by your story, so I spent a few minutes doing some calculations and came up with this: he'd have had to work 62 hours a week for 156 weeks in a row with no vacations (3 years) to scrape together $70,000. (Assuming no raises and no interest income, time-and-a-half for overtime, and a 10% tax burden.) That's with $0 per month for anything else including food, utilities, bus fare, or etc. I'd call that pretty difficult. Not impossible, but extremely friggin' difficult. $300 a month in rent would add about 7 hours to his workweek (Time-and-a-half is $10.05/hr, so roughly 30 hrs per month). Suddenly he'd be up to 69 hours a week. It wouldn't take long to make his situation completely untenable.
No, I disagree that he could "easily" have done it without living with his sister. I don't mean to imply that he didn't work his ass off, but living with his sister definitely gave him a leg up.

These numbers are from around 1990. The starting pay for that job was eight-something at the end of the three years he worked there due to some cost-of-living increases, and is probably at least $11 to $15 per hour now.
