When I had just one Corvette I was happy.

Then I got another Corvette and I became 50% happier.

So, I increased my Corvette inventory by 100% and only became 50% happier. I guess that's what you call the law of diminishing returns.

However, my In-laws now make fun of me for owning two Corvettes, so it makes them happy to give me a bad time about owning the two cars.

But, when they make fun of me for owning the two Corvettes, it reminds me of the fact that I own not only one, but two examples of my favorite car, and it makes me really happy.

So when I see my in-laws, I always make some reference to the cars and that gives them the opportunity to make fun of me, which actually makes me happier, although I pretend that I'm slightly offended so they'll keep giving me a bad time.

Yes, I know that all sounds strange, but I just wanted to share....

I like the quote, "Money can't buy happiness - but it can sure come close."
