Open Thread - Tuesday

We've been discussing how the very wealthy dislike paying their taxes and how much they love the good things their money can buy. Amy sent me an e-mail that reads like poetic justice...

65' custom-built motor yacht complete with 4 staterooms, state-of-the-art galley, GPS system and radar for navigation, twin supercharged diesel engines, etc.:

$2,474,793.00


Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries with cream and music dockside for the excited 'soon to be owners' and a small group of friends:

$500.00

Two corporate representatives, crane and rigging complete with faulty turnbuckle:

$2,500/hour

Please note the owner in back of the yacht

Watching your dreamboat nose dive into the harbor, accompanied by two corporate representatives just prior to 'inking' the final paperwork...



PRICELESS!


Thank you, Amy. This is a timely little story...
