“A company comes in and installs Christmas lights and decorations in your yard. They drive by twice a week and straighten and fix any bulbs or lights that are out. Then, at the end of the season, they remove all of it and store it for you for next season. This privilege was $10,000 per season after you paid for all the decorations.”

“For some reason, he’d never wear the same shirt twice. His wife bought him really nice branded button shirts like YSL. He’d wear them once, she’d wash, iron and repack them and give them to charity shops. That seemed to be his only quirk; he was absolutely sensible about the rest of his life.”

“I was the divemaster leading dives for a wealthy couple, and they enjoyed the local diving so much on Monday that by Friday they had bought a house.
“On their next trip to the island, they decided it would be easier if they had their own boat, so they bought a 34-foot dive boat. Then they figured they might want to move it from one side of the island to another depending on conditions, so they bought a trailer and a truck to tow it. After that, they decided it would be easier still if they had their own scuba compressor to refill tanks at home. All of this was for maybe two weeks per year. ‘Just charter a damn boat for the time you are on the island.’”
