Overheard at Peet's

I meant to write this post yesterday.

I was at Peet's yesterday early evening (no surprise) and I caught a comment from the table next to me (which had a couple people with bibles talking about religious stuff) along the following lines:

"If I get a Ferrari, then I'll be able to talk to a higher class of people and spread the gospel to them."

While as a neutral statement, I would agree that this is a logical strategy, the way the guy was speaking (and my own cynicism) made me think he was stating this as a justification of the Ferrari rather than the other perspective of the Ferrari being the means to the other end. Accordingly, I felt like puking when I heard that comment (which I have paraphrased due to my hazy memory).
