If she caught me refusing the expensive gifts she would be very
worried.
Just in case it matters, I have my eye on the Canon 500mm f/4.0L IS
lens, you know, just in case someone wants to send it to me.

About as subtle as a brick.

That is ok, I was figuring that maybe someone else would send me that
nice lens, like Nomen Nescio, he seemed to be hinting that he want to
give someone something nice.

Get in line. I already called first dibs on the first free 500 f/4L
IS available.
Where is Mark Morgan, anyway? He should be finished with his by now.

He's probably not as dumb as he portrayed himself to be and admitted defeat
with the 500/4L to himself, but too ashamed to publicly admit he bought a
piece of crap. I'm sure he sold it long ago like I sold mine.
