Nice Pay For Four Years

Heck, I'd shack up with Paul for half of this:

Legal experts believe that McCartney could lose up to a quarter of his estimated £825 million ($1.52 billion) fortune after separating from his second wife.

That would equate to roughly one million pounds for every week of their short-lived four-year marriage.

Yep. Five hundred thousand pounds a week, and I'm yours, Sir Paul.

A bargain.

But you wear glasses. Not half the turn-on one leg is.

Well, they would be if I had any hair to let down when I took them off. But alas no.

Hell. For that kind of money he might be willing to take a leg off himself.

Right, I'll immediately get on to making those "WILL FUDGEPACK FOR MONEY" bumper stickers for you.

"FOR THE RIGHT MONEY"

I may be easy, but I ain't cheap.

Well, ya gotta admit she is a hardcore capitalist; she increased her rates for Paul, charging all that the market can bear. That sheik paid £6400 for one night of sex with her. Paul will end up paying about £142,857.14 a night....and I'm sure that every night didn't include, ummmmmm, physical affection. Talk about price gouging!

And I suppose that we can now say that a has-been rock star is 22.32142857 times more valuable than a sheik. Approximately.

That's a helluva price to earnings ratio. Count me in!

Or should I find a count?

I'd be careful about posting the prostitution claims here; she's already said she's going to sue News of the World when the divorce is final.

Now Bingley, you don't have to go shack up with a knight for us to call you a lady.

It's good to have friends I can count on, Cullen.

Good point, Emily, even though all I am doing is repeating scurilous gossip about a couple of people with more money than brains.

Posted by: The_Real_JeffS at June 13, 2006 12:29 PM

If it's not scurrilous, what's the point?

Posted by: Ken Summers at June 13, 2006 05:10 PM

Exactly, Ken! Exactly.
