COLUMN: A $99000 razor and other useful gift ideas
It’s possible that the Great Recession was caused by a perfect storm of uncontrollable events, what those in the financial industry who should be getting the blame for this mess but aren’t, like to call the “financial tsunami.”
That could be it.
Or it could be that there were a bunch of greedy S.O.B.s out there who do anything for a million bucks or two. It could be that most of us belong in that group.
As evidence of theory No. 2, I offer the fact that the following are available for purchase this Christmas. All would make excellent presents for the greedy S.O.B. on your list who has everything (but still wants more of course):
* Zafiro Iridium Razor ($99,000). Their razor blades are made out of pure sapphire, platinum screws and a handle made out of Iridium, one of the rarest metals on earth. The blades are 5,000 times thinner than a strand of hair, so you’re guaranteed a close shave, and, if you’re not careful, a partial decapitation. It does come with a lifetime guarantee and you never have to change blades. So they’re be some pretty nice savings there.
