The $6,000 Question

Who among us is not delighted that the Tyco twins were convicted and face 30 years in prison?

Squandering corporate money, using the company funds as one's own personal "piggy bank" for the two little piggies are despicable crimes.

The hedonistic $2,000,000 Sardinian birthday bash was revolting.

But let's talk about the $6,000 shower curtain.

It's bad enough that corporate funds would be used to BUY a $6,000 shower curtain, but who MAKES a $6,000 shower curtain?

Is this common among those in the know? Do you have to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond Reason to get one of them?

Of what is this shower curtain made? Spun gold?

How many people in the world have purchased one of these curtains? Is the manufacturer like the purveyor of the Million Dollar Apple? All you have to do is sell one?

I'm fascinated by the concept. Is there a coordinating $5,000 bath mat?
