So, talking to some people in the neighborhood this morning about the anti-PHART roof sign, I was told that the person spent $200 on it. My response was that if the person really wanted to make the point, they should say they started to spend $200 on it but it quickly ballooned to $300,000. By that time, it was too late to stop.
Well, let me go all “concern troll” on you and say that to be fair, your excellent comment should have been “quickly ballooned to $760″, not $300,000… the same ratio as $15m to $57m.
You could narrow it down even closer and say “and the sign company had a nonrefundable deposit and I already had the ladder set up, so I decided it was too late to stop even though my wife & kids thought I should have.”
The real question: Did OHSU pay for $653 of the $760 sign? :-)
