106. He likes to talk about himself

107. He has a gold thumb. A gold thaumb is when he weighs grains for customers he slyly rests his hand/thumb on the scale so that it weights more then it really does. This way he gets a little more money. If he does this all the time to everybody he's making alot more money. The Millers dirty and peasenty apperence as well as the loud way he acts is pretty much a big huge fake. People would never expect him to be smart and a good business man, but he is, and that's the whole point.
