My father lives in Florida on a golf course in this exclusive, gated country club. after a few hurricanes last year, he described to me some of the most ridiculous behavior by people who have all the money in the world... and afterwards there were the vultures taking advantage...

My wife's birthday was yesterday, she wanted something that went from zero to 200 fast! So I bought her a bathroom scale.

Heh. I'd have seen that as legitimate cover to buy a Hayabusa. :-)
