Heh! Kind of like my friend who "collects" wine and has rented 3 wine
cellars
around the bay area to store the wine he "collects".
Him: Honey, I want to spend about $1000 on a case of <unpronouncable>
Her: That's a lot of money for wine.
Him: But Honey, it's an *investment*
Her: (completely straight face) When do you expect to *sell* some of the
wine you've
"invested" in?
Him: Uh!
Her: Exactly. You can spend the $1000 if you sell $1000 of other wine so
you have room
for the case and don't have to rent *another* wine cellar.
Him: How about I make you a gourmet dinner and serve $1000 of wine with
it?
Her: OK!
