What're you giving to Hal for Christmas?
I'm giving him an Olive Garden gift card.
Why not just give him the cash?
Cash is so impersonal.
So to make your gift more heartfelt than cash, you're giving him an illiquid cash substitute that can only be spent on bad Italian food...
I never said I liked him.
