A friend of mine just started his own business, making landmines that look like prayer mats. He says business is booming, and prophets are going through the roof¦

A man walks past a beggar every day and gives him $10

and that continues for a year.

Then suddenly the daily donation changes to $7.50

“Well, the beggar thinks, “it’s still better than nothing.

A year passes in this way until the man’s daily donation suddenly becomes $5.

“What’s going on now? the beggar asks his donor.

“First you give me $10 every day, then $7,50 and now only $5.

What’s the problem?

“Well, the man says,

“last year my eldest son went to university.

It’s very expensive, so I had to cut costs.

This year my eldest daughter also went to university,

so I had to cut my expenses even further.

“And how many children do you have? the beggar asks.

“Four, the man replies.

“Well, says the beggar,

“I hope you don’t plan to educate them all at my expense.
