Tubbies, while I appreciate your modesty, you are rich. Your dad works for Goldman Sachs, for crying out loud!

As someone who eats, sleeps, and occasionally plays golf, I can tell you that $1.2 million for a membership is not ludicrous.

I could also tell you that paying such a hefty sum for a membership and then saying you’re not rich IS ludicrous.

If I were to tell you for some entirely irrelevant reason that I was ludicrous, then, being ludicrous, I certainly must be lying, and therefore I am not ludicrous at all.

Sorry. Couldn’t resist the temptation of paradox.
