Grumbling about the distance between campus buildings, a daughter wrote home to her father, who happened to be a veterinarian, asking for money to buy a second-hand motorcycle. By the time the money arrived, she had changed her mind and bought a monkey instead. After several weeks, the monkey started losing its hair. Hoping her father would know how to cure it, she wrote him a letter. "Dad, please help. All the hair is falling off my monkey. What should I do?" A couple of days later, she received a reply from her worried father. It read, "Sell the damn motorcycle!" |
