I know, you're getting awful tired of all this Christmas talk; it's January 2006, after all. But there are still two more days to come. After all, we're so close to being completely bankrupt; why stop now?
On the Tenth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:
Ten Lords a-Leaping;
Nine Ladies Dancing;
Eight Maids a-Milking;
Seven Swans a-Swimming;
Six Geese a-Laying;
Five Gold RIngs!
Four Calling Birds;
Three French Hens;
Two Turtle Doves;
and A Partridge in a Pear Tree.
Ten Lords a-Leaping: Okay, let's think about this: Ten Lords a-Leaping? First of all, how are you going to get ten lords to leap for your true love? And what exactly are they leaping? Just fleeting questions, I know; it's not like anything else on this list makes a whole lot of sense, either. Well, should you manage to find ten lords to leap for you, it's going to cost you $403.91 a lord. Don't ask... just don't ask.
On the Tenth Day of Christmas:
1). Ten Lords a-Leaping: $4039.10
2). Nine Ladies Dancing: $4576.14

And for the grand punchline: $38,137.38. They say that love hurts. Yeah... your wallet.
