My anti-portfolio - South Park

Many years ago my wife and I went to see The Book of Mormon (recommended). The show is written by Matt Stone, Robert Lopez, and Trey Parker, two of whom wrote South Park.

At the end of the show, the cast came on stage and announced they were raising money for charity. If anyone would donate one thousand pounds, they could have an autographed copy of the South Park episode Trapped In The Closet which satirised Scientology and Tom Cruise in particular.

The previous day I had played poker, won more than a thousand pounds and had the cash in my pocket. My wife urged me to donate/buy the script. I didn't.

I still have non-buyers regret.
