bliss
whilst reading the weekend paper i have stumbled across some interesting finds, some of which i'll vent about much later as i digest the arrogance so later about the cigar smoker...
a quaint little inhabitant of my town has been interviewed and upon attempting a sincere answer to what would you do with a million bucks? her reply was 'invest wisely, contribute to a good cause, and finally travel and shop on the interest...
excellent, cos i need the name of the broker and investment house who are clearly genius to be able to make my wonderful currency really go the distance. i did a few sums and figured that unless 'the cause' is getting a free lunch for the volunteer staff, the travel is to a weekend resort and the shopping at a second hand store, someone is being short changed or perhaps i am too extravagant?
upon reflection i did a few more sums and concluded that i am a bit of a miser. i might: run in terror at the possibility of having to make the mil, 2 and what to do in the crises that the balance slipped below the mere 6 zero's, how the hell can i spend 1 mil, that gets you nowhere - a bucket of fries and some chicken? my head has rushed into zero overload and for some reason i couldn't figure out how i would give the charity anything less that the 6 noughts and then what the hell am i going to buy and how the hell will i invest?
this is the car guard dilemma - one is unacceptable, two is insulting, five is ok but 10 is too much! how do you give the charity 500 000 and then keep 500 000 for yourself? do you then do a 60/40 split and is that not just rude, so compromise with a 70/30 or an 80/20 which seems to do you in some how, or can you go the whole have it all or keep it all and try do something with any leftovers?
