$630k for a new (not classic) shotgun is on a par with the ‘run of the mill’ sunglasses I saw in West Palm Beach last week for $910…

I wend down the street to Walmart and bought a nice pair for $14.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Clark, wait until you do your window shopping at the Southern. You’re in for a treat.

$630K; I think that's more than all the money I've ever spent in my life, houses and cars included !

Say it quick and it's not so bad.

A new John Deere roller cotton picker is approaching $1 million now. Cotton drawers and handkerchiefs are going to be so high I'm going to have to go to silk and paper towels.

Well now Stan has me thinking… if I could figure out how to lease a small gauge A1S and take the expense off my taxes…

Might be worth checking into, Garry.

Back when I competed heavily in the NSCA and traveled to big shoots I saw many decked out UTVs and trucks and trailers with a magnetic sign on the door or tailgate indicating the name of a personal business. I asked about the prevalence of this and was told that by simply doing so the shooters could write off every cent of the weekend's expenses as business expense . . . . mileage, hotels, meals, shells, entry fees, etc.
