Since Mr. Pink is at a charity auction for victims of the Indian subcontinent nuclear war, I thought I'd pitch in...(although it's tough right now because my neighbors are going through breeding practice rather LOUDLY!) anyway,-(when they're done, I'll yell, "was it as good for you as it was for me?") ok, ok, uhhhh....charges, yeah, so if you do an acquisition, lots of firms don't want the goodwill drag on forward earnings, so they attempt to write off as much of the acquisition cost in one fell (ooooh, they stopped!)...sorry, swoop. wait a sec.....maybe he is the 8th VIAGRA death?
