minus-squareDagwood222@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up15·6 months agoReminds me of an old joke. A man is standing on Wall Street. He has a sign that says 'Pencils For Sale." A broker walks up and asks how much for one pencil. “$50,000.00” “$50 thousand for one pencil? At that price you’re not going to sell many.” “At that price I only need to sell one.”

Reminds me of an old joke.
A man is standing on Wall Street. He has a sign that says 'Pencils For Sale." A broker walks up and asks how much for one pencil.
“$50,000.00”
“$50 thousand for one pencil? At that price you’re not going to sell many.”
“At that price I only need to sell one.”
