      I wish my wants would really be as important as some people seem to think theirs are.

        I want one! I want one! Not that I have a use for it, but that's not the point

        Tell your wife she can have one, but you expect a decent ROI within 6 months!

        Oh, and it'll be a lot more than $8k by the time she sees all the optional extras, and what she could do with a more powerfull laser.

          I wonder whether you can tatoo / brand someone/thing with it...

            The richer you get, the more expensive your so called "needs" become. (Definition of "need": anything that is necessary but lacking)

              On another forum I used to frequent (Bimmerforums.com or bf.c for short) the correct response would be to tell her that she can have that after she lets you film the butsekz she gives you. However, I don't know if that would work in your case.

              I'm the least you could do
              If only life were as easy as you
              I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
              If only life were as easy as you
              I would still get screwed

                  Actually, the fact that this does not hold for me is what makes me consider myself as rich. Not that I am poor or anything.

                    haven't looked at the product too closely, but on every CO2 laser I worked on (from 1600 - 4000 W) the CO2 was expendable - the power was reduced gradually with every use, and the CO2 needed to be replenished. Something you may want to look at.
                    Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!

                      It's not my case either but I can see how it can be, having lots of money tends to corrupt most.

                      @gt40: It is a CO2 laser beam.

                        Cool, you could dissassemble it and use it to burn tattoos on people!

                          She should write it off on the taxes as a business expense. All she has to do is make 8K over the next 3-5 years. And obviously, you need a new PC to control it !
