Perspectives...

How's this for perspective...
A woman calls to make a transfer on her account. She tells me (and I quote) "I need to make a transfer. Boy these holidays are killing me!"
I pull up her account...between a savings, checking, and money market account she has over $145,000 in her accounts. She has a Visa with less than $300 due and (considering she's 88 yrs old and has so much money) I'm sure she doesn't have a mortgage to worry about. I'd be curious to see what it takes for her not to be "killed" by the holidays...
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
-- from the movie "Billy Madison"
"Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed."
