Joke - Dont read if you are easily offended
A friend of mine sent this to me this morning - a classic
A man walked into a curio shop in Sydney. Looking around at the exotica,
he noticed a very life-like, life sized bronze statue of a rat. It had
no price tag, but looked so striking that he decided he must have it. He
took it to the owner and asked "How much is the bronze rat?"
"Twelve dollars for the rat and a hundred dollars if you bring it back",
said the shop owner. The man gave the shop owner twelve dollars, "I'll
take the rate and I won't be bringing it back."
As he walked down the street carrying the bronze rat, he noticed that a
few real rats had crawled out of the alleys and sewers and began
following him down the street, This was a bit disconcerting, so he began
to walk a little faster. Within a couple of blocks, the group of rats
behind him had grown to over a hundred and they began squealing.
He started to trot towards the Harbour. He took a nervous look around
and saw that the rats numbered in the thousand, maybe even millions, and
they were all squealing and coming towards him faster and faster.
Terrified, he ran to the edge of the water and threw the bronze rat as
far out into the Harbour as he could. Amazingly, the millions of rats
all jumped into the water after it and were drowned.
The man walked back to the curio shot. "Aha!", exclaimed the owner,
"You're bringing it back!"
"Actually no," said the man, "I came back to see how much you want for
that little bronze Muslim over there!"
