Keen business sense



------------------------------------------------------------------------


A successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law. 

"I love my daughter," he said, "and to welcome you into the family, 
I'm making you a 50-50 partner in my business.

All you have to do is go to the factory every day and learn the
operations." The son-in-law interrupted him. "I hate factories.
I can't stand all the noise."

"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then, you'll work in the 
office and take care of some of those operations." "Oh, I also hate
office work," countered the young man. "I can't stand being stuck
behind a desk all day."

"Wait a minute," the exasperated father-in-law said, "I just made 
you half owner of a multi-million dollar money-making organization, 
but you say you don't like factories and won't work in the office. 
What am I going to do with you?"

"Easy," replied the smug son-in-law. "Buy me out."
