| How The Rich Get Richer |
A businessman walked into a New York City bank and asked for the loan officer. He said he was going to Europe on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.
The loan officer said the bank would need some security for such a loan. The business man then handed over the keys to a Rolls Royce that was parked on the street in front of the bank. Everything checked out and the loan officer accepted the car as collateral for the loan. An employee then drove the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.
Two weeks later the businessman returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest which came to $15.41. The loan officer said, 'We do appreciate your business and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a bit puzzled. While you were away we checked and found that you are a multimillionaire.
What puzzles us is why you would bother to borrow $5,000?'
The business man replied: 'Where else in New York City can I park my car for 2 weeks for 15 bucks?' |

Some Roman families employed a special educated slave called a pedagogue to help teach their children. The pedagogue had a stick with which to beat the child if he didn't work or was naughty. Imagine having a slave employed to hit you with a stick!
