Little does he know.. when you’re buying that large of the inventory it drives the prices to deep discounts.

also if you didnt take the cash payout and decided to do the annuities it would get you close to the billion mark so that first guy is wrong, there is a way to get close to the full amount before taxes.

They aren’t considering the discount when you buy in bulk. Idiots.

shrug, i also dont think this is calling anyone out really, just showing the bewilderment that some people take life too seriously

That may be true.  When operating on limited sleep thanks to a 1 month old baby, sometimes it’s hard to see the forest through the trees.

IT WAS A TERRIBLE JOKE! I just like to run my terrible jokes into the groun d!

I hope you realize even this post was in good fun.

Heh, heh. He called you out. So, here’s the follow up. We’re not talking buying 1M Miatas. We’re talking about buying the ones left . We can probably stipulate “in running condition” too. I have no idea how many that would be in 2018, but you would have to know that (or have an estimate) before spreading the $300M over al l of them to see if you get a reasonable average purchase price. Since we don’t have the data for that calculation, I think the question mark on your sentence gives you the wiggle room you need. Now the onus is on Arrivederci to address the question.

And that’s how you out-stickler someone. :D

LOL - of course, I don’t care.  Like I said in another reply, I’m operating on very little sleep, so lots of humor is flying over my head :).

In general, you are right, but in this particular case, the jokes both there and here, actually were gotten, and all is well in the land.

Yeah, kiddos are amazingly resilient.

And also, pregnancy brain is a real thing - it was amazing how forgetful my wife got while pregnant.

You’ve never heard that saying?

It’s quite a common one.

You’d start with, ‘great minds think alike.......... (leave a second or two pause then say), fools seldom differ’.

No, I’ve never heard that ending.  Usually when I say to somebody that great minds think alike (meaning mine and theirs), I’ll finish it with ... and ours do too.

In teaching you may hear a teacher or parent say,

‘I’ve taught him/her everything I know!’,

the other replies,

‘yes, are they are still stupid’.
