Todays Winner of the "Completely Missing the Point" Award

Saw about a half dozen rolling 401(k)'s in the grocery store parking lot today. They're the ones that look like if the owner put half as much time into doing something productive as he does with his car, we'd have cured cancer, and if they invested half as much money in something that pays dividends as they've put into chrome, Social Security would be irrelevant. They're also the kind of cars one frequently finds quadruple parked to avoid the possibility that someone might open a door too far and ding their paint job.

These people did not disappoint. However, insofar as there is a point to quadruple parking one's pimped out ride, these people seem to have missed it. While all six cars were parked squarely over the junction of four parking spaces, they'd all pulled up right next to one another.
