I just bought a new scooter.  Well, technically I just bought another scooter.  Anyway, as I was cruising down the street at a roaring 37 mph, I started thinking about what it really was that I had paid for.

In this case, I had bought a time machine.  Now before you start giving me that “Jigga, what?” look, let me explain.

I use the scooter to commute to work.  It’s about a three mile journey each way.  I could certainly walk that distance in about an hour.  But with the scooter, it takes about ten minutes.  So I’ve bought myself 50 minutes each direction.

You could also argue that I’ve bought a jealousy machine based on the looks that all the cool people sitting in the outdoor cafes give me.  But that isn’t so much an argument as it is a tautology.
