WALL STREET BAILOUT PLAN
Posted by: | CommentsOnce 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 !!!!
Thanks, BEV

Arte y Pico Award To BigDadGib.net
Posted by: | Comments
We all like to be noticed and so do I. That’s why I am writing this post today.
Our dear friend down in Perth has bestowed this wonderful award on the BigDadGib.net blog. I am thrilled with this award and thank Rodney from RodneyOlsen.net for the honor.
The rules for passing this honor on:
1 - Pick 5 blogs that you would like to award this honor to.
2 - Each award has to have the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
3 - Each award winner has to show the award and put the name and link to the blog that has given her or him the award itself.
4 - Award-winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of “Arte y Pico” blog, so everyone will know the origin of this award.
Here are the five blogs I wish to pass this award onto. They have been an inspiration to me and all that read them.
- Mountain Mama - A great lady with a great blog. She has great stories, photographs and gardening tips from the great North West Territories.
- Diane’s Place - Another fine lady with a great blog. She post about her Emmy, Lamar and all the folks. She is also a wonderful souther-style cook.
- BigWhiteHat - An established blogger, father and husband who is well versed in all, BigWhiteHat walks tall in Texas and I am proud to have him as a friend.
- Clew’s Blues - I can’t tell you when I actually started reading this blog, but it was a long time ago. Sweet, straight and honest, this blogger lady is fun to read.
- Interactive Sermon - An all time favorite. The author is a wonderful pastor, father and singer and not necessarily in that order. His love for his church, family and Christ is apparent as he writes a wonderful blog.
So, those are the five I have picked today. I have so many wonderful blogs I read everyday. I have spoken of them before and if you want to see my complete list of the finest blogs, CLICK HERE
