To my confusion and regret, £39605. Unhappily, though, I sold it at a garage sale for $2.50 (CDN) last Saturday morning, along with a trade copy of "On The Road."

Damn. Gave some answers on that quiz I'd like to explain away...
<i>Have you ever consulted a mystic, medium, tarot reader or similar?</i>
I was working as a 'Producer' for a Radio Talk Show host and I decided to give a few psychics I was booking for his show a "test drive". For Entertainment Purposes Only.
<i>have you ever been employed in any of the following occupations: estate/rental agent, advertising agency, car/life insurance company?</i>
I was a Commissions Accountant for a Life Insurance company that went very publicly belly-up. When they got flooded with phone calls asking about whether their Lifetime Annuities were worth more than two cents, everybody in Accounting had to put in two hours a day on the phones to say "Nobody knows... call back next month". I think I did my time in Hell for whatever sins I committed there...
<i>do you watch any of the following news channels: Fox, MSNBC, CNN, SKY</i>
Keith Olbermann's show on MSNBC 'cause I think he's funnier that Jon Stewart... that's all!!! (And I read GaelFC's work blog on their site... c'mon, that shouldn't count!!!)
My soul is worth £9648, which converted to dollars will pay off less than half of my credit card and medical debts.
In other words, "sorry WWYS but I can't go, I already sold my soul to Capital One"...comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.28182-550548Tue, 09 Sep 2003 22:57:41 -0800wendellBy: Jimbob

£28646, 23% of people have a purer soul. Not too shabby. I'm already content with not being enlightened in this lifetime. My goal is to come back as a cat, so any more saintliness would mess that up.
It would be amusing to see the logic behind this. I definitely get the sold soul already to insurance companies bit, thus rendering it used and quite depreciated, but how does thinking you're overweight count? What if you are, but have happy, buddha belly fat? Is this a per pound bonus or discount?comment:www.metafilter.com,2003:site.28182-550821Wed, 10 Sep 2003 10:08:22 -0800dness2By: tcaleb

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
