[PEN-L:6851] Re: Nonsense on Stilts

[Jim Devine <jdevine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>Consider the recent story about a truck driver who gave a lift to a man in
a dark suit. The man in the suit asked the driver if he ever invested in
stocks. He replied that not only did he do so, but that he had been able to
buy a tropical island with the proceeds. This is the modern equivalent of
the cab drivers making fortunes in the 1920s, and driving only as a hobby.<

of course, we should remember that the above story is an advertisement for
some on-line brokerage rather than being genuine folklore.
