There's a classic Mike Royko bit where he's in a bar and a Chicago yuppie is showing off and bragging about his $10,000 watch. Royko's wearing a cheap $5 watch and says to the yuppie "I can do something with my watch you can't do with yours". "What?" And Royko takes off his watch and smashes it so hard on the bar it falls apart. "And I can do that 1,999 more times before you could do that to your watch!"
