I hadn't heard this story:

  [Kurt Vonnegut is] working at home with his wife and he tells her he’s going to buy an envelope. A sensible woman, she suggests hey, why not buy a bunch, bring them home, then we’ll have envelopes. But he insists on his original plan because he’s “going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.”
