Sweating, Twitchy Yankees Trade Prospect To Sox
There’s a bit in John Mulaney’s new standup special (filmed in Boston!) in which he discusses a time when he was hopelessly desperate for cocaine but had no access to a bank account. Without any cash on hand, Mulaney concocted a plan to purchase a brand new Rolex with a credit card and then immediately pawn it. The only problem was that he was so obviously desperate for a fix that, upon purchasing a $12,000 watch, he sold it minutes later for just $6,000. It’s my understanding that cocaine is generally expensive and this is far from my area of expertise, but I gotta say: that seems like something of an overpay.
