Hey Morris, don't be too hard on Lou! I have seen a couple of others he has a bid on, but will never tell.

A lot of the fun for us poor blokes is the chase, at our age very slowly, whether we get anything or not! Thinking thoughts of acquisition helps put some excitement into usually dull days. As I recall the Ferengi never took days off from their "laws of acquisition". A bargain in hand is a start to two others in the bush, I always say.
As for his lair at home, I have been there and can attest you can't avoid close encounters of the brassy kind , even though he has to do some digging to find some of them! You know the saying,"Two's company, three's a crowd"? We, it only takes two guys of our size to make a crowd.
The next horn is only a mouse click away!
