Thank you, but no thanks.

One of the best investments I ever made was to register my surname as a dot com way back before you even knew the Internet existed. I was able to sell the name a few years later at a tremendous profit. If you are in an office environment, be warned: don't look it up now; it ain't pretty!

A registered letter (you know, by snail mail) just arrived requesting I sell my mens.de to brand called m.e.n.s.. Thanks for asking, but I am not interested.

    Pity, because m.e.n.s. is quite innocuous. I own two pairs of trousers by m.e.n.s and the people who sold them to me, an outfit called ADAM in Sélestat, presented me with a large poster with the name m.e.n.s prominently displayed above a gent attired in another of their products. It is hanging in my workshop.

    It turns out I own a pair of their trousers too… I'd never noticed.
