Catching Monkeys

Borrowed from an email I received today. Had to share.

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers
that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: "Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!

Now you have a better understanding of how the WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN will work!!!!

It doesn't get much clearer than this................

  1. THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER


    Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to
    my husband that my breasts are too small.

    Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically
    comes up with a suggestion.

    If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of
    toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds'.

    Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in
    front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.

    'How long will this take?' I asked.

    They will grow larger over a period of years,' my husband replies.

    I stopped. 'Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper
    between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?'

    Without missing a beat he says, 'Worked for your ass, didn't it?'

    He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy, He may even walk
    again, although he will probably continue to take his meals through a straw.

    Stupid, stupid man.
