Kevin: You lucky dog! You have a very considerate wife. Happy Birthday, by the way. I was looking for a Chaebol just the other day as a gift for one of our ardent supporters, but K-Mart was fresh out. Demand outstripped supply this year. That's one of the drawbacks of having a near-Christmas birthday, I suppose. All the good toys go to the "avoid the Christmas rush" early shoppers. So, be a swell guy, will ya' ??? How about bringing your brand new, fresh out of the box, complete with new smell, Chaebol to the party tonight in the Clubhouse. Let the rest of us play, too. Maybe we can all group together and put some pressure on that MO-FO guy. You know, get him to kinda' forget your debt. After all, it's Christmas! Have a great birthday, TED

Kevin, a year ago there were only 850 won to the dollar. Now it is around 2000. BTW, unless your wife bribed a high ranking official to buy your Chaebol, you probably paid way too much. FYI, stocks in Korea have dropped an unfathomable 75% this year. That's almost as much as C*GI. How about that Korean election, though? Kim Dae Jung got 67% of the Kim vote, only 42% of the Park vote, and barely 14% of the Lee vote. But even more revealing about the Kim vote is that the President-elect got 88% of the second cousin vote and an unprecedented 72% of the third cousin vote. As I am sure you know, Koreans don't track beyond fourth cousins because, well, let's just say for thousands of years they were surrounded by high mountains and water and Koreans liked to travel by foot. - Jeff P.S. Happy ??th birthday!
