Things Unnecessary: The Brief Safe
June 29, 2010 in Things Unnecessary
Our house was burglarized last year. The perpetrators kicked in our French doors in the back of the house, and managed to take off with our XBOX 360, Wii, MacBook, the zoom lens for our SLR camera, and Mr. MarshMueller’s fancy hiking/photography backpack. We were pissed. We were violated. We were grateful they didn’t take real things of value, like identity documents, heirloom jewelry, and grateful they didn’t steal/harm our animals. But we were still pissed.
Remember when you were a kid and you thought $7 was expensive? And then we all had to grow up and realize that everything’s expensive? Well, fellow Wordsmokers: we’re about to hit the Jackpot. A lottery jackpot. What would you do with the winnings? Take a year off and travel the world? Pay off your student loans? Buy a giant tub of Jell-O and hold daily wrestling matches at your mansion on Alcatraz Island? For this post, I’m going to say the amount you won is infinite, so as not to limit anyone’s monetary dreams. Taxes are already paid.
