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 a
half-owner of a profitable corporation, but you don’t like
factories and won’t work in a office. What am I going to do with
you?”
“Easy,” said the young man. “Buy me out!!!”
