"I recently sold a house in Laguna for $3.5 million. It was on about 2,000 square feet of land, maybe a twentieth of an acre, and the house might cost about $500,000 if you wanted to replace it. So the land sold for something like $60 million an acre." "You have a real asset-price bubble in parts of California and the suburbs of Washington, D.C.," added Charlie Munger.

Rehearsal

Take all comers. Take all comers! It is the American way!

Jacqueline: My husband . . . thought . . . one man could . . . . . . make a . . .

Stop! What in blazes are you doing? There is no -----

Counselor: You are not giving her a chance. Just let her read it.

But she is dragging it out too long. It is just one sentence. There are no commas, no colons, no semi-colons, no periods----

Counselor: What is that supposed to mean?

What? What? . . . Oh, for Pete’s sake----

Counselor: You have issues with women don’t you? We should talk----

Jacqueline: . . . My . . . husband . . . thought one . . . . . .

Stop! What are----

Counselor: Will you just let her finish, stop interrupting her.

She is dragging it out. What is with all the long pauses?

Counselor: This is just part of the funeral pageant. It is not a professional production.

We must try to maintain some standards. Please Jacqueline, simply read the line as it was meant---

Jacqueline: I . . . wrote the line?

Yes. Yes. Please, there are no . . . eh . . . punctuation marks, just read the line on my cue.

Take all comers. Take all comers! It is the American way!

Jacqueline: My husband thought that one man could make a difference . . . . . . and that . . . everyone should try.

“ It is the American way.”
(Speaker Gingrich, (August 1991), also acknowledged my letter.)

“It is almost a violation of the confessional. The lesson is: be careful who you confess to.” --- (as did Mark Shields (1992))
