Hanging in my cubicle at work is an advertisement from about 5 years
ago. It has a picture of a Lotus Esprit and a Volvo station wagon.
The caption reads "What to do when your family outgrows the Lotus."
The rest of the ad, which I hacked off long ago, proclaimed the merits
of Volvos and their acceleration, handling, etc.
In place of this last part, I taped on a piece of paper with my
solution for handling the scenario where the family outgrew the Lotus:
Sell the Family!
I always envisioned this as a typical response that David Letterman
might have said...
Being single with no dependents, I don't have to worry about considering
this weighty question!!
