I think it’s this. The stock-market is the only real business which has a precise finishing point, and which can claim to really have a ‘close of business’. I have no quibble with that. But when other professions use it, such as mine, when there’s no discernable ‘close’ at all, it’s just envy mixed with delusion. Actually, ’close of play’ bugs me even more than ‘close of business’.
Anyway, have your secretary fax my secretary those documents we were discussing and I’ll see you at the buyout meeting, what ho.
