Well I have that beat, but I cannot put into print what my wife said when
my M6TTL and 50mm Summicron arrived, Of course that is what she said after
she calmed down and cooled off for a day or two... Reminds me of Bill
Cosby's monologue on his wife having a Conniption Fit...
On the other hand Gabby thought it was cool and said I should give it to
her...Yeah Right!!!

Gene and Jerry
one is "Shit load of dough"
another is " Extravagance far beyond Talent"
So named by my wife's first words uttered upon their arrival in the
house.
