Stanley is looking for a new desk for his office and he spots one that looks perfect in an antique shop window. He goes inside and asks the shopkeeper how much it is.
โThat desk is going for $5000,โ says the shopkeeper.
โ$5000 for an old desk? Thatโs outrageous!โ exclaims Stanley.
โAh,โ says the shopkeeper, โbut this is a magic desk.โ He turns to the desk and asks, โDesk, how much money do I have in my pocket?โ
The desk taps one of its legs on the floor four times. The shopkeeper turns out his pocket and, sure enough, there are four dollar coins there.
โWow, thatโs pretty cool,โ says Stan. โAlright, desk, how much money does my wife have in her bank account?โ
At this, the desk goes wild, manically banging all four of its legs up and down repeatedly for over five minutes non-stop.
โDarn, where did she get all THAT from?โ wonders Stanley.
The deskโs legs slide apart and its drawers drop down.
A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. "I welcome you into the family!โ said the man. โTo show you how much we care for you, I am making you a 50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the factory everyday and learn the operation.โ
The son-in-law interrupted. โI hate factories. I canโt stand the noise.โ
โI see,โ replied the father-in-law. โWell, then youโll work in the office and take charge of some of the operations.โ
โI hate office work,โ said the son-in-law. โI canโt stand being stuck behind a desk.โ
โWait a minute,โ said the father-in-law. โI just made you half owner of a money-making industry, but you donโt like factories, and wonโt work in an office. What am I going to do with you?โ
โEasy,โ said the son-in-law. โBuy me out.โ
