What Do You Expect?

“Well, what do you expect?” Has anybody ever asked you that?
Sometimes, my greatest disappointments have come because I expected
something that was simply not realistic.
You may know that Robert Lucas won the 1995 Nobel Memorial Prize in
economics. His ex-wife received half of his $1 million award. Yes, his
EX-wife. As it happened, when they were divorcing in 1988, she had her
lawyer add one tiny clause to the property settlement: “Wife shall
receive 50 percent of any Nobel prize.” And her clause had an
expiration date: October 31, 1995. He won the prize on October 10.

..
The conferment of the Doctor of Laws (honoris causa) on Facey and Stewart was attended by many of the movers and shakers of corporate Jamaica, as well as senior Cabinet ministers and other high-ranking public officials.
..
After the conferment ceremony, Facey told The Sunday Gleaner that the honour would have a place on the top shelf of his trophy case.
..
“I am ecstatic!” he said, adding that it was certainly one of his greatest achievements.
