What were you doing the day after Ken Lay's funeral? If you were fellow Enron scammer Andrew Fastow, you were watching every penny. A spy at the Westheimer Guitar Center informs us that Fastow was in the store today cashing in a coupon for free guitar strings. "Maybe he broke his old set playing a lament" for his old boss, the spy says. It's a big fall from raking in millions through off-the-book partnerships to saving a couple of bucks with a coupon. At least Fastow will have the equipment he needs if he decides to write a blues song about it all. Or maybe just cover this one. - Richard Connelly
