Kawały, dowcipy i śmiech

A young man asked an old rich
man how he
made his money.

The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and
said, "Well, son, it
was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I
was down to my last
nickel.

"I invested that nickel in an
apple. I spent the entire day polishing
the apple and, at the end of
the day, I sold the apple for ten cents.

"The next morning, I
invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent
the entire day
polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I
continued this
system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated
a fortune of
$1.37."

"And that's how you built an empire?" the boy
asked.

"Heavens, no!" the man replied. "Then my wife's father died and

left us two million dollars."
