As of last night, I owned 10 houses....
... and 5 hotels, but I really had a good run at Monopoly last night when we old folks met at the clubhouse to play board games!

:evilgrin:

2. Well, a flip-flopper must do his share of flipping. Ergo, he's always got
a variable number of houses.

4. Maybe it depends on the market for any given day?
They sell and trade houses so often that his staff has to keep track of it for him?

Must be that...right? :sarcasm:

7. Right. I can hear Billo now saying,
"How many of you know how many pairs of shoes you own? Bup! You can't stop to think! If you don't know how many right off the bat, you must be an elitist, right? That's what the left is trying to do to McCain. Make a war hero out to be an elitist. And it's that kind of smearing that can put our great nation in the toilet."

So lame, but I'll bet the spin will be something like that.

10. Are you telling me you don't know how many pairs of shoes you own?
Let me get with my staff and I will tell you later how many pairs I have.

Staff...where are you????

Gee, no one is answering...they must be at one of my nine other houses!

:evilgrin:

5. Every time I get 10 houses
and I think I'm on easy street, I have to pay $40 bucks each for street repairs and I'm screwed!

6. Well, if you had...
...married a wealthy beer heiress...you could have her pony up the $$$ for those repairs, right? And there you would be...still on Easy Street!

8. True. I should have followed John McCain's lead.
I went for the one that only got $10 bucks for second place in a beauty contest. We are still hoping for a bank error in our favor though.

13. Well, rats....
...I took a spin up to the clubhouse and found that the person who I turned over my place at the Monopoly Board has LOST three of my houses!

Now I am down to McCain's level! :evilgrin:
