You stole my idea before I could post it! Great minds and all that...


The earlier comment about this guy being able to miss the iceberg on the Titanic reminds me about a conversation that must have taken place on that fateful night:

Captain of Titanic: Hey guys, I have a great idea!

Suckup bridge crewman: What's that skipper?

Captain of Titanic: This is the maiden voyage of the finest ship ever built. It's dark and foggy out. It's colder than a welldigger's ass in the Klondikes. We're in the North Atlantic, and radar hasn't been invented yet. I know what to do! Helmsman, go to MAXIMUM WARP SPEED!

Suckup bridge crewman: Aye Aye, sir!

Smart bridge crewman: [mutters under his breath] I'm getting my ass to a lifeboat before this Assclown wrecks the ship...

I would venture to guess that alot of the nay sayers will change their mind when it actually hits the stores and more people start seeing it.

I don't think it looks that bad on the wrist. Quite honestly, it doesn't matter what we think. The "normal" Rolex population will buy one because Rolex made it. That will be enough to keep them in production.
