You have relocated yourself to the abandoned places of empire… down the road. You share economic resources with fellow house members and the needy… or you smooch mooch. You love to compost your food wastes (and also the unmentionables)… in your kitchen. You act as a peacemaker to end violent conflicts… or squirrel gang wars. You dive through dumpsters looking for your next meal. Sustenance. From a dumpster.

Well this hard life is admirable, but sometimes you have to indulge yourself with “appropriate” luxuries.

Like this limousine:

It does not pollute the environment; in fact its made from recycled parts. And you will certainly be the talk of the New Monastic ball, when you show up in this. If Jesus had this, he would not have bothered that weary donkey. Its not the most convenient mode of transportation, but then what limousine is? Its about luxury, not convenience! Show people you have class, style, and taste.

Unless, of course, you are going to visit your girlfriend’s parents. Then you’ll want to borrow one of these:

"He drives a what?"

"He drives a what?"
