It's funny because it's so almost-true.
It reminds me of how easy it is to get into "collectibles" (have been guilty here)--you know, "layering" objects for table-top or shelf displays, things piled and stacked and propped for a certain look and at some point what you have is 5 times as much "stuff" as you ever wanted.
More is not always better, and it has a cost, as noted!
