Get used to it glutenous pigs.

BTW: Is that Dawson Leary's picture next to the SOL? For a second there I thought that the re-runs of the 16th season on HULU had been canceled. LOL

Gluten is that stuff in wheat that gives bread its structure. Perhaps you meant gluttonous?

deceive you. That was not my intention. Thanks for pointing out my less than well thought out post.

BTW: With reference to your post in this thread just below mine, I was actually a party to, in some regards, a variation on the conversation that you have proposed.

Being a committed and avid supporter of the performing arts, and having previously been a resident of the San Francisco Bay area, there were many people of (shall we say) a certain economic strata, who I have encountered at the performances and board meetings of certain artistic organizations that perform there. One night at the ballet, two males (a couple) who shared our box (don't worry, I have always been a member of the 99%) had the following conversation that was spoken in our direction, so that my lady friend and I could not help but over hear it: "Should we have driven the Bentley tonight?" "Oh no, we might have gotten a scratch in the door".

We ended up sharing the box with the them for two seasons, and I even had a conversation with one of them at a board meeting one night, but I never did learn either of their names.

Yeah, they were for real all right. Of that I am certain.

"Lovey, The Rolls is in the shop! Our chauffeur says it will take 3 whole days before it's fixed."
"Oh, darling, whatever shall we do?"
"Well, I suppose we'll have to take the limousine, or the Bentley. Or one of your Cadillacs."
"Thank goodness you thought of a solution. You're such a good problem solver, dear."
"Why, yes, I am rather resourceful, aren't I? Perhaps I should run for office."
