mere six figures don't cut it

Back in the glory days (late 90's) shades had a redneck friend worth about 20 million - this redneck had a richer redneck uncle worth a few hundred million who was printing money with his goldman sachs stuff - so he called up the boys at goldman sachs and says OK I am ready to put 5 million with you boys - but I want access to all those IPO shares you bring to market and double in 1 day. He got to the right person at Goldman Sachs and was informed that while although 5 million may be a lot where he was from - the kind of "service" he was asking to receieve was for their $100 million+ accounts - HAHA! BWAHAhA! It was funny to see a local king get told by the REAL RULERS what an insignificant ant he is. He had a plane - but his richer uncle had a few jets - ah the pains of wealth.
