P: So what did you get the birthday boy?
H: Well, Raj got him an awesome limited edition Dark Knight sculpture based on Alex Ross's definitive Batman. And I got him this amazing signed copy of the Feynman lectures on physics.
P: Nice. I got him a sweater.
H: OK, he might like that, I've seen him get chilly.
P: Ah Sheldon, I didn't see your present.
S: That's because I didn't bring one.
P: Well, why not?
H: Don't ask...
S: The ENTIRE institution of gift-giving makes no sense.
H: ...Too late.
S: Let's say that I go out and I spend $50 on you. It's a laborious activity because I have to IMAGINE what you need whereas you KNOW what you need. Now I could simplify things and give you the $50 directly then you could give me $50 on my birthday and so on until one of us dies leaving the other one old and $50 richer. And I ask you, "Is it worth it?"
H: I told you not to ask.
