A Sailor With a Big Dinghy

I explained to my friend Milt: I would love to live in Manhattan, but only if I had a bargeload of money.

Milt said: right, you could park the barge at the Chelsea Pier, next to Steve Forbes’ yacht.

Exactly. Or I could blow it all on a $10 million bat mitzvah.

Afterthought: I see I have inadvertently acknowledged that I think $10 million= a bargeload. I assume in some circles—Steve Forbes?—it is just rounding-off money.
