A boat
docked in a tiny Mexican
village. An American tourist complimented the
Mexican fisherman on
the quality of his fish and asked how long it took
him to catch
them.
“Not very long,” answered the Mexican.
“But then, why
didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the
tourist.
The Mexican explained that his small catch was sufficient to meet
his
needs and those of his family.
The tourist asked, “So
what do you do with the rest of your time?”
“I sleep late, fish a
little, play with my children, spend time with
my wife… In the
evenings I go into the village to see my friends, have
a few drinks,
play the guitar, chase the senioras, and sing a few
songs. I have a
full life.”
The tourist said, “I have a M.B.A. from Stanford and
I can help you.
You should start by fishing longer every day. You
can then sell the
extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue
, you can buy a bigger boat.
With the extra money the larger boat
will bring, you can buy a second one
and a third one and so on
until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your
fish to a middle man, you can negotiate directly
with the processing
plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can
then leave this
little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or
even New
Jersey! From there you can direct your huge enterprise.”
“How long
would that take?” asked the Mexican.
“Twenty, perhaps
twenty-five years,” replied the tourist.
“And after that?” asked the
Mexican.
“Afterwards? That’s when it gets really interesting,”
answered the
tourist, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you
can start
selling stocks and make millions!”
“Millions?
Really?” asked the Mexican. “And after that?”
The tourist replied,
“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a
tiny village n
ear the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch
a few
fish, spend time with your wife, and spend your evenings drinking
and
playing the guitar with your friends!” Jewelry Jewelry Duamond Solitaire Stud Earrings 14K White Gold 10 Carat Ctw.

Four
expectant fathers were in a
Minneapolis hospital waiting room, while
their wives were in
labor.
The nurse arrived and announced to the first man, “Congratulations
sir, you’re the father of twins.”
“What a coincidence!” the man
said with some obvious pride. “I work
for the Minnesota Twins
baseball team.”
The nurse returned in a little while and turned to the
second man,
“You, sir, are the father of triplets.”
“Wow,
that’s really an incredible coincidence,” he answered. “I
work for
the 3M Corporation. My buddies at work will never let me live
this
one down.”
An hour later, while the other two men were passing
cigars around, the
nurse came back. This time, she turned to the
third man, who had been
quiet in the corner. She announced that his
wife had just given birth to
quadruplets. Stunned, he barely could
reply.
“Don’t tell me another coincidence?” asked the nurse.
r
After finally regaining his composure, he said, “I don’t
believe it,
I work for the Four Seasons Hotel.”
After hearing
this, everybody’s attention turned to the fourth guy,
who had just
fainted, flat out on the floor. The nurse rushed to his side
and,
after some time, he slowly gained back his consciousness.
The nurse
asked, “Sir, are you all right?”
“Yes” says the man, “I’m o.k.
now. I just had a shocking thought. I
work at the 7-11 Store.” 18J White Gold 95Mm Milgrain 3 Ct Diamond Wedding Band 18K White Gold 95Mm Milgrain 3 Ct Diamond Wedding Band Jewelry,Jewelry 1 13Ct Diamond Fine Bail 14K White Gold Solitaire Pendant 1 13Ct Diamond Fine Bail 14K White Gold Solitaire Pendant,2 Carat Diamond 14K White Gold Eternity Bar Band 2 Carat Diamond 14K White Gold Eternity Bar Band Jewelry,Jewelry 5 Carat Diamond 14K White Gold Eternity Band 5 Cqrat Diamond 14K White Gold Eternity Band,Jewelry 2 12 Ct Diamond 18K Y Gold Eternity Open Jewelry,Jewelry 3 Cqrat Diamond 14K Yellow Gold Princess Eternity Band 3 Carat Diamond 14K Yellow Gold Princess Eternity Band,18J White Gold 186 Ct Bezel Set Diamond Wedding Band Jewelry 18K White Gold 186 Ct Bezel Set Diamond Wedding Band,Jewelry Jewelry Jewelry,1 12 Carat Diamond 18K Yellow Gold Eternity Bar 1 12 Carat Diamond 18K Yellow Gold Eternity Bar 1 12 Cqrat Diamond 18K Yellow Gold Eternity Bar,14J White Gold Stylish 105 Carat Diamond Bridal Set Jewelry 14J White Gold Stylish 105 Carat Diamond Bridal Set,Jewelry Jewelry Jewelry.

A motorist, driving by a
Texas ranch, hit
and killed a calf that was crossing the road. The driver
went to
the owner of the calf and explained what had happened. He then
asked
what the animal was worth.
“Oh, about $200 today,” said the
rancher. “But in six years it would
have been worth $900. So $900 is
what I’m out.”
The motorist sat down and wrote out a check and
handed it to the
farmer.
“Here,” he said, “is the check for
$900. It’s postdated six years
from now.” Vuntage Single Very Old Gal Leg Spur Spurs Vuntage Single Very Old Gal Leg Spur.
