I wasn't watching the headline news lately and now my friends probably think I'm crazy. We were talking about sushi, my pet eels, and my tendency to eat eels when I go out for sushi. And then my wife started teasing me about eating my pets, to which I responded that yeah, I'd eat my pets, but that my eels were too expensive. And she said that'd be like eating our kids. To which I replied that I would eat our kid if one ever died. Get my money's worth kinda joke. My friend laughed and actually started to think about my point that after investing 10Ks of money, might as well do something...
hmm, I didn't realize how close my words were to this story, yeesh!
