And, yes, my eyes are green.

As good as Bill Gates? Sultan of Brunei? Are you even in Letterman's class? IF you could even get close, call me.

Yes and your disdain on wealth is also evident. OF course it isn't because you aren't there or even close. IF you could attain it and decide it isn't good for you and give it up, I'll admit you might have a point. Till then, it sounds like "sour grapes"

What a coincidence. Green eyes on a proverbial green eyed monster.

Sour grapes is an expression originating from the Aesop Fable The Fox and the Grapes. It always refers to an unattainable goal and human reaction to it. It can mean to deny desire for the unattainable item. More often, it refers to the nature of humans to rationalize why they wouldn't want it anyway. The phrase has come to be synonymous with bitterness in most modern contexts.
