Koikaze, I don't have your talent(?) for doggerel so I'm forced to use plagiarized material. I see by your profile you are a "consultant". (I was one too, in a former life.) I found a story reminiscent of my childhood. Wonder if this strikes a chord for you? (g) AK

Business is business

The teacher said, "I'll give $2 to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."

An Irish boy put up his hand and said, "It was Saint Patrick." The teacher said, "Sorry Sean, that's not correct."

Then a French boy put up his hand and said, "It was Napoleon." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Pierre, that's not right either."

Finally, a Jewish boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ."

The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Daniel, come up here and I'll give you the $2."

As the teacher was giving Daniel his money, she said, "You know, Daniel, you being Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."

Daniel replied, "Yeah. In my heart I knew it was Moses, but business is business."
