BookReporter to Spitzer: Or You Could Spend it on Books!
This is too funny, from Carol Fitzgerald's Bookreporter.com blog:
Memo to Eliot Spitzer
If you spent the $4,300 you were alleged to have spent on the night of February 13th on books, you could have bought 172 hardcover books at an average price of $25.
If, as rumored, you spent $80,000 on escort services over the past decade, you could have bought 3,200 hardcover books at an average price of $25.
If you bought the books in state, none would have had to cross state lines to get to you.
If you bought them online, they may have crossed state lines and yes, you may not have paid tax, but it still would be legal.
These books could have been about sex. There are at least 172 books about sex. I am sure there also are 3,200. If these books were trade paperbacks, double this number.
If you did this, you still would be governor.
Just something to ponder.
Definitely. Books provide many more hours of entertainment for the dollar. Plus, reading books has ended a lot fewer careers and marriages.
