what makes me laugh.

I'm just finishing up David Brancaccio's "squadering aimlessly". There's a situation at the end where he finds himself with a $42,500 check in his hands. He "knew exactly what to do next". He "would have to donate to public radio. The beauty of that strategy is that [he] could pledge to public radio at a level [he] was comfortable with, and still have $42,465 left over to build the portfolio of [his] dreams."
I don't know why, but hat shit cracked me up.
