I'll admit I was originally debating whether to get out of bed at all today. 
That changed when a note from my scheduling assistant reminded me today was the 
debut of Apple’s newest wristwatch. In the yacht’s leisure room, I perused my 
collection of rare old antiques from Rolex. As I certainly couldn’t bear the 
shame of being seen in public without a standard timepiece, I considered my 
choice with care. I chose to dress down, as I'd be among the city folk today. A 
classic Rolex Explorer from 1956 was chosen for it’s ambiance befitting the 
common man and it’s sporty good looks.

Taking the elevator from my living quarters to the helicopter deck, I could 
hardly contain my anticipation. After a short flight, we landed, and my driver 
was waiting on the tarmac with the Bentley. I made haste, and reclined into the 
hand-stitched, subtly cream-colored Herman Oak leather seating of the Bentley. 
(I’m told the city people mostly confine themselves to Bentleys and I shouldn’t 
wish to cause a stir with the Rolls Phantom, even though it is ever so much 
more comfortable.)

Finally, after what seemed an eternity of caviar and Belgian hors d’ oeuvres, 
lightly touched with Grey Poupon, I arrived at the Apple store. I was aghast at 
the mob of shabbily-dressed people queueing near the door! Luckily my travel 
liaison had anticipated my arrival, and she was waiting to give me my very own 
Apple watch. And wouldn’t you know, they’re quite a steal at only ten thousand 
dollars. Of course, the bronze-tinted platinum Milanese loop band adds several 
thousand more to the price, but I'm never one to quibble over such 
insignificant details. 

Now I’ve heard tell of people saying they’re quite a bit more after “tax”, but 
I tell you I’ve no idea what they’re talking about. One of my accountants 
assured me when I was young that this “tax” thing has no effect on people like 
me. He told me that “tax” is the penalty you pay for being poor.
