i tried to convince daver to purchase a pair of these at saks:
but he just mumbled something about how his bonus this year is only going to be in the six figures even though he's been short CDS all year. the shoes we're only $9995, not even 5 figures.
he then convinced me that i should purchase one of these at bergdorf goodman for $400 but in a much sexier colour:
being the nit i am, i muttered something about this thing going on sale for half the price on friday so the daver told me that colombo never goes on sale - maybe in january if there's anything left. so i bought it and had the tags snipped off so that returning it would not be an option. we then walked over to barney's and obviously the same scarf was there on sale for $175. they didn't have my colour so the daver tried to convince me to buy it and return the ugly colour to bergman. i of course opted not to **** with my karma and was immediately rewarded by finding out that the gamble i had taken on oil futures earlier that morning had made me $1400 while i was out shopping. i don't know a damn thing about oil, but i do understand manipulating karma.
also picked up a fantastically gay zegna blazer marked down to $500 from $1700, and am seriously regretting not picking up a grey bowler hat that the daver sarcastically told me to get.
