I was in lower Manhattan watching people jump to their deaths. I'm sitting at home while others are working 12 hours shifts in dangerous conditions.

I worked in the trade center for 12 years. I visited the firehouse across from the WTC many times. They are now all dead.

Giving away a couple of chips is well less than generous.

I think it's great on your part to bid so high. Obviously you didn't have to do that.
