J##sus! You could have gotten a hell of a nice fishin boat for that!!!" he said.

Perfect. Not that I would ever want a fishing boat, but I have allowed a couple of home improvement projects to slide because a machine I couldn't pass up came along and, even at almost age 40, my father still likes to say to me "Ya know, we could have re-sided your house three times by now if you'd stop buying those damned phonographs!"
