Message:: [QUOTE="LA_Geezer, post: 3523488, member: 89393"]Sorry, but this reminds me of a joke from a comedian back in the Sixties. I've forgotten his name, but his humor was southern rural humor, Nawth C'lina, I think. Cousin William had heard that there were plenty of job opportunities up in Chicago, so he took his life savings to buy a Greyhound Bus ticket. Within a day or two, Will gets a job as a bus boy and is pleasantly astounded when he finds that the waitresses in the restaurant share their tips with him for cleaning their tables. He sends a postcard to his cousin back home. He wrote: "Charles Lewis, you need to be gettin' yourself up here to Chicago. There's so much money up here it's fallin' off the trees." Charles takes heed of the message and gets his own Greyhound Bus ticket. As Charles gets off the bus in the Chicago terminal, he spies a $100 bill shoved against the curb, and says to hisself, "I'll pick you up tomorrow, I ain't gonna work on my first day in Chicago."  [/QUOTE]
