Sounds like either way, you're screwed, though I don't disapprove of your choices.

a) the world ends: you went out happy, but... you're still vapour residue wafting in space;

b) the world doesn't end: the pimp wants his money, you're saddled with a Ferrari you can't afford, you judgment is clouded by cocaine, and your cell phone is is stacking up voicemail messages from the bank, your wife, your mother, your mother-in-law, your dealer, and the pimp.

My money is on the world not ending in our lifetime, based on past experience being a reasonably good predictor of future performance.

You could hedge your bets and still come out a winner: find a couple of willing volunteers instead of the hookers, buy champagne and caviar instead of the blow, and find a hotel room with a view of a Ferrari, or a Ferrari dealership, or a Ferrari billboard. The Ferrari's only value is visual appeal anyway because the ladies will be keeping you busy in ways that preclude driving the car. After all, it's a Ferrari, not a Honda Odyssey.

You're welcome Razz emoticon

As Jess has pointed out on numerous occasions, this is a logical fallacy: "If something hasn't happened by now, it won't happen".

Therefore, the reverse is proven to be true, and the world will end as scheduled.

Hmmm... Good to know! The day is drawiing nearer and nearer. I just need a suitable topic and certain amount of controversy involved. And ... pictures!

Scritch-scratch, bzzzt, hmmm, pffft... Silver Streak here from the other side (no, not NSM!).

Damn world ended here in mid-sentence.

Don't worry, Max, I'm in a better place. Nobody here calls a Vespa a moped, uses cellphones while driving, or relies on GPS.
