Girlie Water


Is it just me, or is this water reminiscent of an American feminine product?

One of the teachers orders this stuff from France and raves about getting it online for only about $1.80/bottle.

I am reminded of that Eddie Murphy movie (I don’t recall the name) where he is the heir to a great fortune and he can either take $30 million up front or, if he can spend $100 million in a week, he will get $300 million. The numbers and reasoning are all a little fuzzy, but that was the idea. Anyway, he proceeds to buy really expensive rare stamps and use them for actual postage and pay exorbitant salaries to people for meaningless jobs. Essentially he’s really wasteful.

That’s what French water is to me: inventing the most ridiculous reasons (French water is good for you) to add as much carbon to the atmosphere as we can.

Dave you are thinking of Richard Pryor along with John Candie but I can't think of the name of the movie, something millions.

That would be Brewster's Millions. A classic.
