A friend emailed me this. I probably appreciated it even more since our family car was recently rear-ended by a Mexican who then drove off despite his airbags having employed. However, in this day of cell phones, it is difficult to get away with a hit and run. Besides myself, several other witnesses all called 911 with the license plate. The police quickly found him. Fortunately, no one was seriously hurt and he actually had insurance.

Jose and Carlos are both beggars. They beg in different areas of town. Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects about eight or nine dollars a day Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of cash to spend. "Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?" Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?" Carlos' sign reads: "I have no work, a wife and six kids to support." "What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him. "No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"Carlos says, "Alright, so what does your sign say?" Jose's sign reads: "I only need ten dollars to get back to Mexico..."
