Sign o' the times...

The Boston Marathon finish line is about 200 yards from that building.

My old building.

I remember meetings on the high level floors where you were in the clouds, and others on windy days when you could see ripples on the surface of your coffee from the swaying of the building.

I wonder if I can snap it up for $600M.

I'm gonna wait till it goes on Craiglist, then I'll pick it up for a cool $350M.

Think they'll short-sell it?

Okay... let me get this right, you want to offer me two times the market value for the property, all I need to do is send you the $350M. to cover the legal fees involved..... sounds fair nuff!

[Jim Richards]

Bill, I'm Mr. Otumba's personal secretary. Please make the cheque payable to me. I will send you mailing instructions and let you know about the next steps to finalize this urgent and very confidential business proposition.

Does it come with snow tires?

[Jim Richards]

It wasn't in the original specification; however, I believe allowances may be made due to your excellent credit rating and the timliness of your processing of the cheque which, as I mentioned, should be made out in my name. My Director, Mr. Otumba, will include a premiere snail farm as additional compensation for your prompt response to this urgent and very confidential business proposition.

Alright Mr. Obuma, check is in the mail... I made it out for $500M, so if you would
kindly cash it, keep an additional $50M. for yourself, and send the additional $100M. to my shipper (I would like a snail farm too!) I would be in your debt... Thanks

[Jim Richards]

We've hit a snag with the snail farms. Due to customs issues and illegal claims from deceased estates in Nigeria, it will require an additional $100M funds, made payable by cheque to me (as Mr. Otumba's personal secretary) to dispense with these fraudulent claims. Your ongoing support is great appreciated.
