The Fisherman
      
A "business" man meets a fisherman on a remote idyllic island. The fisherman
is resting against a tree and looks as if he has no worries whatsoever. The
business man goes up to him and asks him what he does.
      
F-man : "I go out fishing for 2 hours a day, catch 4 or 5 fish and bring them
home to feed my family and myself."
      
B-man : "Is that all you do?"
      
F-man : "Why...yes."
      
B-man : "Has it ever crossed your mind to do something else?"
      
F-man : "No...why?"
      
B-man : "Well, if... let's say... you spent 4 hours fishing a day, you could
catch 10 fish - keep 5 and sell the rest!"
      
F-man : "Why would I do that?"
      
B-man : "Because if you did it, then eventually you could buy a better house
for you and your family!"
      
F-man : "And then what?"
      
B-man : "Then, if you started to work for 8 hours a day, you could save up and
start your own fishing fleet and earn even more money."
      
F-man : "And then....?"
      
B-man : "If you had your fishing fleet working 24 hours round-the-clock, then
you could re-locate to somewhere like New York where the really big bucks are
made."
      
F-man : "For what purpose?"
      
B-man : (exasperated) "Well, you dummy, so you could retire early and spend
the rest of your days in peace fishing in some remote and idyllic island like
this one of course"........
