Panhandler’s Profits

Jose and Carlos were a couple of panhandlers. Both panhandled for the same amount of time, but Carlos only collected a few dollars, while Jose raked in over $100 every day.

One day Carlos asked, “How do you bring home so much money every day when I work the streets just as hard as you?”

“Look at your sign,” said Jose. “It says, ‘I have no work, a wife and six kids to support.’ No wonder you only get a few dollars!”

“So what does your sign say?” asked Carlos.

Jose held up his sign. It read: “I only need another $10 to move back to Mexico.”
