Ironic how each loafer lacked a penny, though I'm sure they cost him a pretty one. They gleamed meticulously (aside from the scuff inflicted by his Benz) and closely resembled his fathers $2,000 humidor. His father always smelled of cigars and leather, once you got past the 25 year old scotch. He was taught that pewter spoons were childs play and nothing but. Born to a wealthy accountant and flight attendant of New Hampshire, he was not accustomed to the word no. He was a typical, grade A snob, who looked down a nose so bent out of shape, it made Owen Wilson cringe. "That bar exam didn't pass itself." This was the phrase he had coined after years of being told he'd never worked a day in his life and he cowered behind the truth in knowing its the only thing he'd ever accomplished. It may seem pompous at first, but ultimately, the phrase reflected his utter worthlessness. He would never know the meaning behind that very word, nor did he care to attempt to understand it. He made the superiority of his wealth, in comparison to others, evident with every chance presented to him. His selfish attitude was a close second to the first thing you noticed about him; his anchor-print, linen button-up, his gold LeCoultre, and his khaki Lacoste boating shorts. Funny how such a pretty boy, turned out to be the ugliest person you could ever meet.

Ugly goes to the bone...
