How a deal is done, selling short
Listen...
Jack, a smart businessman, talks to his son.Jack: I want you to marry a girl of my choice
Son : "I will choose my own bride!"
Jack: "But the girl is Bill Gates's daughter."
Son : "Well, in that case..."
Next Jack approaches Bill Gates.
Jack: "I have a husband for your daughter."
Bill Gates: "But my daughter is too young to marry!"
Jack: "But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank."
Bill Gates: "Ah, in that case..."
Finally Jack goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Jack: "I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president."
President: "But I already have more vice-presidents than I need!"
Jack: "But this young man is Bill Gates's son-in-law."
President: "Ah, in that case..."
This is how business is done!!

I disagree with this method, as it is misleading and manipulates people. Smart but dishonest.

This has been doing the rounds for quite a while. Great Joke though. There's another one about an old lady who bet with a lawyer she could hold the bank president's "family jewels"....

How a con deal is done, selling short
"A" - Seller
"B" - Buyer
"C" - Conman
"A" wants to sell his digital camera, so he posts the camera specification and selling price on Forum ABC. Payment term is to be made via direct transfers to his bank account.
"C" gets hold of the above information and posts it on Forum XYZ.
"B" is interested in the item. He contacts "C" to make a deal. "C" asks "B" to bank in the money into Bank account of "A" before the item is delivered to "B".
"C" contacts "A" and tells him that he is interested to buy from him and has already banked in the money into his bank account. "A" confirms payment is made and delivers the item to "C"
"B" waits in vain.
This is how a con business is done!!
