The Visa Black Card - For Those Who Demand Only The Best Of What Life Has To Offer

... is the invitation I just received.

Amazing. Do they have any idea who they're talking to? This is someone who likes to shop at thrift stores and buy odds and ends to make wacky contraptions like the Hobo's Coffee Can Rock Tumbler Mark I.

The card has a $495 annual fee and it costs $195 a year for each additional card. The interest rate is close to 15%. It says it gives you all kinds of VIP rewards, but I don't know about that. I wonder if my local Baras Thrift Shop will accept it.


I want only the best of what life has to offer. I SAID, I ONLY WANT THE BEST OF WHAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER!!! CAN YOU HEAR ME? DO I NEED TO TURN THIS THING OFF?

And here I thought you were talking about Barack Obama's American Express Black Hole card.

Gee, I have a wife I love, that loves me, and we've got three great kids (OK young men) and a daughter-in-law, all of whom are fine upstanding citizens.

I always thought that was the best of what life has to offer...

A friend of mine used to make fun of the various Gold/Platinum/Titanium (and now Black) cards. He said that the people who had them thought it showed the world that they were wealthy and influential, but that what they showed to everybody else was that the holder was a fool, begging to be parted from his money.
