So he is.

He got sidetracked with the wildly inflationary [tulip trade](http://www.investopedia.com/features/crashes/crashes2.asp). Or tripped over those clunky wood shoes. Or got stoned. Or lucked into marrying a hot and cold gorgeous, funny, smart woman or sumpin’.

The _fool_. Leaving all this behind…harumph.

Damn you.

I was going to comment that if you ever needed me, you could send up the [BatSignal.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=6276301&postcount=68)
