A very successful businessman had a meeting
with his new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the
family," said the man. "To show you how much we care for you, 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. "I hate
factories. I can't stand the noise."
"I see," replied the
father-in-law. "Well then, you'll work in the office and take charge of some of the
operations."
"I hate office work," said the
son-on-law. "I can't stand being stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the
father-in-law. "I just made you half-owner of a moneymaking organization, but you
don't like factories and won't work in an office. What am I going to do with you?"
