Probably not the wisest investment!
I suppose if you buy a company you probably should be fairly adept in what your company does. Or maybe not!

Nothing more embarrassing than getting killed by your own toys.

Humperdinck: First things first, to the death. Westley: No. To the pain. Humperdinck: I don't think I'm quite familiar with that phrase. Westley: I'll explain and I'll use small words so that you'll be sure to understand, you warthog-faced buffoon. Humperdinck: That may be the first time in my life a man has dared insult me. Westley: It won't be the last. "To the pain" means the first thing you lose will be your feet, below the ankles, then your hands at the wrists. Next, your nose. Humperdinck: [losing his patience] And then my tongue, I suppose. I killed you too quickly the last time, a mistake I don't mean to duplicate tonight. Westley: I wasn't finished! The next thing you lose will be your left eye, followed by your right — Humperdinck: [exasperated] And then my ears. I understand! Let's get on with it — Westley: WRONG! Your ears you keep, and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear God, what is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what "to the pain" means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

In the 1980s the business school drones were all taught: " You don't need to know what the company does, you just manage the process." They supposedy delegated all the authority and just collected the pay for being on top. Which is why we have so many nincompoops running US comapnjies now. They skip from one to the other because they know it's a money game, and the dead carcass they feed on will still be alive after they have sucked their full measure. But.. every time a company has people who know what their doing instead of politics and process, they get rich. Apple discovered this and called Steve Jobs back, after the well-credentialed MBAs and Finance weenies couldn't deliver in product or profit. Lots of other examples but this is a good one. Why do you think Warren Buffett hasn't retired and delegated someone to manage the "process."???

Anyone seen any pictures? How can you ride a Segway off a 30' cliff into a river? Seems there would be a railing or something if it was a place where a Segway was rideable.
Wait a minute--it was a cross-country version of the Segway.

Wonder if the internal gyroscopes wet haywire.
Who will his family sue? Man I'm bad. My condolences.
