A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money.
The old guy fingered his expensive wool vest and said "I invested my last 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 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a
month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $9.80."
"Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars."
