Please pass the diamond studded napkin dear.

This one sais to me, "class". If I owned that TV I wouldn't watch it, I would DISPLAY it.
"Come friend, I am superior, you'll serve me steak at your house to feel even hardly comparable to ME."

Maybe not that bad, but you get gist. If I got the cash I would pull that no question under the circumstances where I needed the bolster in the lodge.

It's too bad that you'd only watch it a few times, and likely with unexpressed resentment, you'd probably rather go outside. But you'll polish it like it was the only thing you ever owned, you're kids will feel awe for your appreciation and while not understanding you really, they will know you love that TV. Priceless.
