Some people just have too much money. Sadly, I am not one of them. But here are two stories that really cracked me up.

The first is about a new product for that baseball fanatic in your life. The Major League Baseball franchise has formed a licensing agreement with a company called “Eternal Image.” E.I. is offering a unique service to baseball fans starting next season. You can now put your loved one’s ashes into an official MLB licensed urn. Yes, that’s right - you or your loved one can spend eternity in an urn decorated with your favorite team’s name, colors, and insignia. It even comes with a nice nameplate and a faux-baseball on the top.

Have qualms about being cremated and stuck on a shelf or mantle? Then you can go with the offically licensed casket, decorated in the same manner as the urns. Eternal Image hopes to make licensing deals with all 30 teams.

The second story about the overly wealthy is about Steve Wynn, an art collecting casino mogul in Las Vegas. It seems that Mr. Wynn purchased a Picasso painting entitled “Le Reve” in 1997 for $48.4 million. Representing a huge return on his investment, Mr. Wynn had reached an agreement to sell the painting for a record $139 million to another collector, Steven Cohen. Mr. Wynn was showing off his painting to guests in his office prior to completing the sale. Apparently, Mr. Wynn is one of those animated people who uses his hands while talking. This particular habit cost him dearly, as he accidently punched a large hole in the painting with his right elbow. Mr. Wynn was understandably unhappy about the mishap, letting loose with an unpublished expletive. At least Mr. Wynn has a sense of humor, commenting that he was glad he was responsible for the damage, and not one of his guests.

Of course, the sale to Mr. Cohen has been cancelled. Mr. Wynn says he will have the painting repaired and keep it in his collection. Homer Simpson would have been proud. Doh!
