Conquer Club

Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort. He next announced that he would now buy monkeys at $20 each. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to $25 each and the supply of monkeys became so scarce it was an effort to even find a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50 each! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would buy on his behalf.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers: " Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has already collected. I will sell them to you at $35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell them to him for $50 each."

The villagers rounded up all their savings and bought all the monkeys for 700 billion dollars.

They never saw the man or his assistant again, only lots and lots of monkeys!

Now you have a better understanding of how the WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN WILL WORK !!!!

Very nice.

Great Thread

I wish I could say that I wrote it. but alas, I did not. Thought I would share though. Perhaps it will redeem my shenanigans in the "why do you hate god" thread.

True, except you have to add in that he will loan you the money to do it at a nice and easy 30% interest ... and by-the-way, rail against all the lazy folks who don't work hard enough to buy those monkeys.

But it could turn out to be an investment, because the bad little monkeys will hopefully breed in captivity, and you can sell the offspring at a profit! Who wants to buy monkeys anyway?

Me.

what would you do to those monkeys!!!

Make them type Shakespeare.

Been there, done that. It's BORING.

Just rape them

I'll rape the ones that don't become successful playwrights.

Monkey knife fights never get old.

Neither do westerns, espionage or gangster movies shot with an all monkey cast and later dubbed.

"Hail to the Chimp". Remember that movie? Oh, so totally awesome.
