[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 335677, member: 1690"] My dealings with the wealthy suggest, re their possessions, not a flaunting, but a need of approval for the expense of the object. It's like, "...am I a sucker for getting this?" You pat them on the head and offer comfort, saying some equivalent of "There, there, now...it's an awesome piece that anyone would give their eye teeth for, and you are one hell of a man for being able to afford it." Then there are the others: "That Ferrari has been nothing but a pain in the ass ever since I bought it! It's a POS!" The image of some owner of briarly exotica lording it over others strikes me as bizarre and hilarious. I'm thinking along the lines of a [i]New Yorker[/i] cartoon or something. Any artists in the crowd? :lol: [/QUOTE]
