The London based billionaire ancient Egyptian vampire Set was having a night time meeting with his stock broker.

"Ummm... Mr. Set," Charles Rodney Tuppingham swallowed hard, "I have some very bad news for you."

Set scratched the arms of his Louis XIV armchair with his talons.

"And what is this bad news?" Set inquired in a deep eerie voice that sounded like it came from the pits of Hell itself.

"Well, as you know since last September, the world has been in a deep economic downturn... " Tuppingham immediately stopped talking when Set grabbed the broker's throat with one of his taloned hands.

"I'm well aware of the fact that we are in the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s," Set hissed and then let go of Tuppingham's throat.

"Of course, you're aware of that, Mr. Set," Tuppingham rubbed his throat, "well, needless to say your investments have taken quite the hit so when we tally the state of your investments, you're... er... currently closer to being a multimillionaire than you are a billionaire."
