- Someone said that they had a problem with keeping a minimum of $1500 in a
- bank account. You say, "gosh, why is that a problem? I have $15,000 in
- mine all the time." As in "you mean there are starving people in the
- streets? I don't think that's important because I just had this huge
- chocolate binge." Or, "If there isn't enough bread, then let them
- eat cake."
