The conditions for its use are as follows: You must use the credit card immediately for a single purchase that benefits only yourself. This means you cannot save the balance, transfer it, or spend it on gifts for others. Furthermore, any remaining balance on the card after your purchase will vanish. Your objective is to find a single purchase that costs as close to $700 as possible. What do you buy?

I like it. Pretty good answer. Frivolous enough but also substantial

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Trag just wants us all to not enjoy music as much as he does - what's wrong with that?
