Jose and Carlos are both beggars. They beg in different
areas of town.
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only
collects about seven or eight dollars a day.
Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar
bills. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of
cash 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 eight or nine dollars a day!
You really don't understand public opinion," Jose replies.
Carlos says, "Alright, so what does your sign
say?"
Jose's sign reads:
I ONLY NEED TEN DOLLARS TO GET BACK TO MEXICO
