Worse than a $100 hamburger...

[Half Fast]

SWMBO and I flew down to Venice today and had lunch at Sharky's. Beautiful CAVU day, wonderful flight, delicious lunch overlooking the Gulf. Excellent trip.

But I figure it cost about $20 per shrimp....

 

[WDD]

Easy enough solution. Just buy one shrimp. Your entire trip would therefore be only $20. Jeezz, kind of simple. You're welcome.

(To be serious for a second, had to look twice at "SWMBO". I'm remembering that one - thanks!)

I learned it from Rumpole ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpole_of_the_Bailey ) but I believe H. R. Haggard invented it ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/She:_A_History_of_Adventure ).

I think that was his kid brother.

Either that or post a spreadsheet with all your operating expenses for the year. Done honestly and completely. Oh - and share that with your bride.

I mean really: how many people who own fishing boats calculate the price per pound of fish?



Sounds like a great trip, though!

We do, I have eaten $500 fish tacos before.

IMO, the costs of the boat are worse than the airplane.

Well, I'm an engineer, and I got a math/CS degree before getting my engineering degrees, so it's sorta tough not to do the math. I've been putting the EE into GEEK since 1984, and by now those synapses are pretty much hard-wired.

I made the mistake of trailering a boat to the Keys one year for the lobster sportsman's season. I think it worked out to about $75 per lobster, and that was back in the late '80s.

That looks yummy. And I think is time to update the "$100 Hamburger" phrase? Is probably like $200 now?

Well, the way the price of beef has been going lately, it'll be $300 before long.....

A gun owner's worst nightmare is that after he dies, his wife will sell his guns for the amount he told her he paid for them.

Not to mention his tools, his fishing tackle, his motorcycle, his airplane, his guitars, ......

I'm going to steal your saying, except it's been since 1976!
