Well, there are no canaries there either.
A mother and father were chatting with their eight-year-old son about his future. The youngster said he'd like to attend Cornell, as his parents and other members of the family had.
Pleased with his response, they pressed on. "What would you like to take when you attend college?" they asked the little boy.
After giving it some thought and glancing around the kitchen, he replied, "The refrigerator, if you can get along without it."
Growing up as a kid, I learned all about capitalism through the board game Monopoly. I mean, what better way to teach a young mind the way our economy functions. I loved this game and still do.
Only now, as an adult I have some questions that remain unanswered.
For instance, if I have all this money and own all this real estate... why am I still driving around in a thimble?
Hmmm... I just found a strange piece of plastic on the floor that looks like it broke off of something...
But I have no idea what...
Better save it in the junk drawer until I die.
