Inspirations - well, sort of... 210819

Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it. George Orwell

 

One afternoon a  Banker  was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass.  Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop, and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.  "We have to eat grass." "Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the Banker said. “But sir, I have a wife and two children with me.  They are over there, under that tree" "Bring them along," the  Banker replied.  Turning to the other poor man, he stated, "You come with us also."

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring them all, as well," the  Banker (*) answered. They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was. Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the  Banker  and said, "Sir, you are too kind.  Thank you for taking all of us with you." The  Banker  replied, "Glad to do it.  You'll really love my place.  The grass is almost a foot high."
