I finished a roof package for one of my regular builders, and they were telling me about the buyer for this particular house.  He bought a $25,000 front door.  Exactly how do you spend that much on a door?  There is something wrong with having a door that costs more than my car.  What does a twenty-five thousand dollar door look like?  I have visions of gold embossed scenes from my architectural history classes.  Maybe it comes with its own green clad midget doorman, who will reenact scenes from The Wizard of Oz with your guests.  Regardless of how it looks I think I would be too worried about it to let anyone use it.  I would have a security system with laser sensors and machine guns guarding it at all times.  My friends and family would have to go around to the back door or the garage to get in; no one touches the front door.  The pizza guy would have to be killed.

All the components are finished for this house they just have to finish putting it together and the buyer is still making changes.  Now according to the builder they are thinking of adding a golf room.  I had to ask what this was because I couldn't fathom the answer.  It is a room with a wall size TV and a putting green.  You hit the ball and lasers pick up the movement, speed, who knows what else, and projects where your ball would have landed on the golf course, but on the giant television.  So it is basically a million dollar video game that only plays one game and has to be built into the wall.

"A doctor" the builder said with a knowing glance, all I can wonder is what the hell kind?  Is this why my health insurance is as high as it is?  So much for the idea that all their money goes to malpractice insurance and student loans this guy isn't even 40 years old yet.  What kind of a doctor can spend a serious percentage of my annual salary on a door?  I'm in the wrong profession, completely the wrong profession.  Are there some sort of night classes I could take to make that kind of obviously superfluous money?
