KHftCEA 1999-07.5 July
"A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents. The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37. Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars." --http://photo.net/bg/ --- Holy Cow- 5 in one month! --- STUFF SAVED IN SCHOOL FOLDER: "What's the matter, Miss Quinn?

V. wrote today, saying her tests seemed to go well and that she was looking forward to seeing me in person, not just via e-mail or phone. I dropped an innuendo (well, a little more blatant than that), pointing out that her travelling as a foursome even further eliminates the chances of any other combinations. 99-7-27 --- Two Belgrade residents are having coffee together.
