O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive! – Sir Walter Scott (not Shakespeare as everyone mistakenly believes!)
Yes, Mr. Parish, you did deceive many but now it is time to pay your dues!
“He had a penchant for the clown paintings of the comedian Red Skelton and expensive pens. Last fall he made headlines when he purchased a diamond-encrusted, $170,000 Montblanc fountain pen to add to his $1.2-million pen collection. The pen arrived at a local store in an armoured car.
You do not put ink in that pen,” Parish said at the time. “It’s like owning a Ferrari that you don’t want to drive.”
Now, the Red Skelton fetish, that is just downright freakish.
And, the man doesn’t know a thing about fountain pens. If I buy a pen, its going to get inked and driven, I don’t care how much the pen costs!
