NP? "having money shot at him through a fire hose"

[Doug Millison]

"It is the story of a man who has been rewarded for repeated failures by
having money shot at him through a fire hose. It is the story of a man who
talks with a straight face about having "earned" a fortune of tens of
millions of dollars, without having ever done an honest day's work in his
life. "
