Schmuck Of The Week Award

Frank Vassallo IV of Wilmington, Delaware, just bought license plate number 6 for $675k at auction, and admittedly was prepared to spend up to a million. His family already owns Delaware plates 9, for which they paid $185k at auction in 1993, and number 27. "It's a family thing," explains Vassallo. "It's a Delaware thing." Ming thinks its a grounds for committal thing. This is what happens when inbreeding is not outlawed. What will the fifth generation Frank Vassallo buy? As long as its not shares of Dendreon, Ming will be happy to take a markup selling it to him.
