For the man who has everything...

I've long been a fan of William Henry pocket knives...who still send me the occasional marketing email.

...the subject of the latest mail out being their "Universe" knife....


Hummm...nice.....Then I read the price !

Yes...that's $USD

Any takers?

You could get your money back by starting a "premium cutting" business for b'day cakes and charge $150.00 per slice.

I dunno, sell that silly red thing in your garage and buy one.

Then you'll have an equally useless pointy thing that you fear to use .

Buy Occam's Razor instead

Silly red thing???? Ah! How we mock what we don't understand

Do you mean the thing that has:
- an exhaust note that is simply unrivalled
- despite it's quarter century old design still handles better that most contemporary cars
- beautiful body designed by Italian artisans
- proven engineering and aesthetics
- has in intangible beauty that still turns heads

...and unlike your typical motor.....which drop in price the minute they
leave the showroom....is actually appreciating in value

I don’t think Lewis meant disrespect - he just thrives on buying and selling (his telescopes)

I am bereft of Polish jokes right now. Think yourself lucky

Peter knows I was dissing him with tongue firmly askew within the mandibular region.

Not necessarily. The local Liverpool City Council runs workshop for developers. It's called "correlating land subdivision and stamp duties". Runs on Saturday mornings before everybody's awake. They're experts in slicing.
