AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION.

TBF holds up a slip of paper: “Mega-millions.” His office has a weekly pool.
“Uh-huh.”
“It’s $151 million now.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Even if they took half of it, that’s still a lot of money.”
“Yep.”
“The first thing I do would be to call the Mets ticket office.”
“But of course.”
“Do you still want to sit behind the visitor’s dugout, or the Mets dugout?”
“Visitor’s dugout.”
“So I call them up and say, ‘I want the best seats you got, and I don’t mean mezzanine box.”
“And I want four seats.”
“So we can take friends?”
“And so we can donate to children’s charities when we’re not using them.”
“Right. They can take the kids, or sell the seats.”
“Exactly.”
“Then, I look for a place to live.”
“I’m glad we have our priorities straight.”
“Hey, it’s going to take us time to find a place to live. The season starts soon!”
