Jose and Carlos are beggars. They beg in different areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects
about $8.00 or $9.00 a day. Jose bring home a suitcase full of ten
dollar bills every day, he drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free
house, and has a lot of money 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 $8.00 or $9.00 a day!" Jose replies.
Carlos says, "Alright, what does your sign say?"
Jose's sign reads, "I only need another ten dollars to get back to Mexico."
