Typical Investment banker ;-)

Here is a joke from friend that really cheers me up:

An investment banker was taking a few days off near a small coastalMexican village, where he came upon a fisherman............The banker complimented the fisherman on his catch, and was astonishedto learn that it didn't take long for the fisherman to complete hisdaily work.

The banker then asked the fisherman what he did for therest of his day.'I sleep late', the fisherman replied, 'fish a little, play with mychildren, take a siesta with my wife, stroll around the village withmy friends, sip some wine, play a little guitar. I keep myselfoccupied, senor'.

The investment banker scoffed. 'I have an MBA from Harvard', heproudly exclaimed. What you need to do is spend more time fishing.With the extra proceeds buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from thatboat, buy a few more. Then, instead of selling your catch to amiddleman, you would be able to sell direct to a processor. You'll beso successful that you could end up running your empire from NewYork'.

'But senor,' the fisherman asked, 'how long will all that take'.

'15 - 20 years', came the reply.

'And then what, senor ?'.

The investment banker laughed. 'Then, my friend, you'd do an IPO, sellstock in your company, and make millions'.

'Millions, senor. Then what ?'.'

Then', said the banker, 'you'd retire. Move to a small coastalfishing village. You'd sleep in late, fish a little, play with yourchildren, take a siesta with your wife, stroll around the village withyour friends, sip some wine, play a little guitar'.
