So, if that currency conversion is right, a talent equals $260K? That means in the scriptural parable of the talents, they weren’t talking chump change.
“strategy session”? Didn’t that used to be called “phone sex”?
I guess her phone number is a 900 area code.

Why does “have to tie a pork chop around her neck to get the dog to play with ‘er” keep flashing into my mind?

Their math is off. An Athenian talent (which was a unit of weight) was ~26 kg, so 250 talents is about 6,500,000 grams. This tribute/fine/extortion was almost certainly 250 talents of silver, which is running about $1/gram. So about $6.5 million in today’s money, but that would’ve been fantastic wealth back then. That must’ve been some piece of ass.
“Strategy session”?? Is that what they’re calling it now?

Sounds about right, come to think.
