puh-lease

was reading a local business paper and it referenced someone as coming to America with $75 to their name and now they are a millionaire.

not to steal any thunder from this person's sticktuitiveness, hard work ethic and all, but puh-lease. with just the shirt on my back and the sweat on my brow...blah blah blah.

when you hear stories like that these days, they simply sound contrived. does this mean i am jaded or the media need to get a wee bit more creative?
