Reply: Leica owners are the type of people who: - -- buy incredibly expensive, glamorous, powerful SUVs but never take them any farther off road than the mall parking lot. - -- like to brag about drinking chianti, but inwardly groan at the thought of taking another sip of the caustic swill. - -- were the first ones to rush out and join smoking clubs when the cigar craze began. - -- subscribe to Scientific American, but can't even decipher the table of contents. It makes a great coffee table item in their house. - -- have a son named Cody and a daughter named Brianna. Cody has a swimming coach, and Brianna takes interpretive tap lessons. - -- like to drop their Tai Chi lessons into conversations: "You know, this morning I was on my way to the Starbucks kiosk right after my Tai Chi, and..." - -- enjoy the snobbery of having the smallest lens section in the camera store. - -- wear pleated pants. - -- ran out and got the same type of dog Alec Baldwin had in that movie, but then told everyone they had theirs first. - -- join Classic Literature book clubs because they like to think the postman will be impressed when he delivers their packages. - -- still think it's hip to order quiche in a restaurant. - -- like the security of never having to consider printing their own pictures by themselves.
