The Blade Runner gun

The other day I was mus­ing to the wife about how ridicu­lous it would be to spend stu­pid money, just because I had stu­pid money to spend. I mean, if I was a bil­lion­aire, I said, I could not imag­ine spend­ing $150,000 on a car, no mat­ter how elec­tric or cool it was. It is one of these tru­isms I’ve always held to. Lots of money would never over­come com­mon sense.

And then I heard that Har­ri­son Ford’s gun from Blade Run­ner was up for auc­tion. Here let me show it to you:

It was expected to fetch $150,000, and instead went for $270,000.

And yes, if I was a bil­lion­aire, I would prob­a­bly buy this.
