Joke Of The Day: 26 Nov 2007

A man was a wealthy mill owner with a sprawling area of activity. He had visitors one day and he took them around the place and showed them the various activities. At one point, the visitors had to go through a rather heavy turnstile to get to the adjoining area. Surprised, they asked him, “Sir, why is it that you are still keeping such heavy turnstiles?” The man replied, “Well, every time someone operates it, they pump 50 liters of water into the over-head tank.”

Even under the most affluent of circumstances, a truly wise man saves money where he can.
