deceive you. That was not my intention. Thanks for pointing out my less than well thought out post.

BTW: With reference to your post in this thread just below mine, I was actually a party to, in some regards, a variation on the conversation that you have proposed.

Being a committed and avid supporter of the performing arts, and having previously been a resident of the San Francisco Bay area, there were many people of (shall we say) a certain economic strata, who I have encountered at the performances and board meetings of certain artistic organizations that perform there. One night at the ballet, two males (a couple) who shared our box (don't worry, I have always been a member of the 99%) had the following conversation that was spoken in our direction, so that my lady friend and I could not help but over hear it: "Should we have driven the Bentley tonight?" "Oh no, we might have gotten a scratch in the door".

We ended up sharing the box with the them for two seasons, and I even had a conversation with one of them at a board meeting one night, but I never did learn either of their names.

Yeah, they were for real all right. Of that I am certain.
