Men Are Stupid

NYPOST September 30, 2007 -- A hard-partying Wall Street trader and his ex-girlfriend are in court over an allegedly broken $100,000 promise to keep on the straight and narrow. In recently filed court papers, Elisa Kwon accuses her former beau Greg Calvino, 45, of reneging on a pledge he had made to not "use drugs, stay out late, frequent strippers or prostitutes." The 30-something Kwon insists Calvino had vowed that if he ever did any of those things again, she could cash a $100,000 check he had made out to her. After Calvino's allegedly debauched boys' night out at a strip club in March 2005, that's just what Kwon did. But a fuming Calvino filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court in late July to get his money back - plus interest, legal fees and damages - claiming the whole thing is an extortion attempt. Calvino claims Kwon had threatened to go to his bosses at RBC Capital Markets, where he was a stock trader at the time of the intemperate night out, and make up tales of drug use "with strippers and whores." He claims he wrote the $100,000 check to protect his career and reputation, and that she cashed it for no apparent reason.

Okay, what the hell was this guy thinking? 100k for something that he was probably going to do anyway? for that kind of money he could have had way more fun and way less guilt from his girlfriend. Not to mention, this guy is an investor. he should know better than that. . . I consulted The Book of Ass and it says that "under no circumstances is a man to promise his significant other money as compensation for philandering." instead, spend the 100k on 100, $1,000 hookers. or better yet, on 1,000, $100 dollar ones." if i were him i would just take the money and build one of those tents like Xerxes had in 300. Especially considering that with the fed cutting rates, leases on hunchbacks are cheaper than ever. . .
