Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

"The Battle Hymn of Elder J. Alfred Prufrock"
LET us go then, you and I,
When the pamphlet is spread out against the tablecloth
Like a tract unfolded upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless investigators in one-room cheap hovels
And questionable restaurants with garbage pails:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of theological intent
To lead you to a baptismal covenant …
Let us get on with it,
Let us go and make our visit.
In the room, the elders come and go
Talking of Mahonri Moriancumr."Yeah, but never trust a Ph.D who has an MBA as well. The PhD symbolizes intelligence and discipline. The MBA symbolizes lust for power." -- Katy Lied

When I was a freshman at Ricks, I was on the newspaper staff for a semester. One night, I get a call from the editor who is in a panic and needs something by the next morning. I wrote a cheezy poem for her and it was published in the paper that week.
Fast forward 15 years, and my wife is the YW president. She's looking at some YW site and sees this poem posted online and women commenting on how touching it was. I knew I'd be famous someday.
I'm not posting it here because 1) it has my name on it, and 2) I don't want you people to know I'm capable of writing such drivel.sigpic
