Very good, very good. I remember when my Dad thanked me for the compliment when I asked, "Do you have five dollars I could borrow?"

It's actually a rip off from an old western, "The Professionals". The main protagonist (played by Lee marvin IIRC), I won't say hero, is called a b@stard by the man that hired him. He replies "In my case, an accident of birth. You, you're a self made man!"
