The problem is rather simple! There exist out there a(fortunately) limited
number of idi...er, folks...who have read news items about CEO's receiving
7- and 8- figured "bonuses" which were hardly "earned"...?! As a result,
given the inherent dominance hierarchly built into Homo Sapiens, these
idi...er, folks MUST receive sums larger than the last one they read of...?!
Meanwhile, I would very much like to know exactly how the recipient
of $2,000,000.00 SPENDS that sum...?! In my own case, I would simply
purchase all the 78's I saw being sold; however, consider that the sum
in question would buy THREE million-dollar mansions (not that much
of an improvement on a *3* million dollar joint?!)?!
2 million also buys about 500,000 beers (more or less)...or about
1370 a day...?!
Make sure and reserve funds for your liver transplant...?!
