Cheer up, ChrisF. I don't know what Spike's civil service pay grade is, of course, but he's a lot older than you, and I'm sure has managed to accumulate quite a tidy nest egg over the years. He also probably spends most of his time in his basement apartment, which, as we know, he has furnished very cheaply. Don't begrudge him a few little luxuries with which to brighten his otherwise gloomy existence.
