Jose and Carlos

Every day, Jose and Carlos stand at the freeway exit ramp, panhandling. Jose drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and still has plenty of cash to spend. Carlos only brings in a few dollars a day.

One day, Carlos asks Jose how he gets so much money. Jose tells Carlos, "Look at your sign." Carlos' sign reads: No job - wife & 6 kids to support. Then Jose tells him, "Look at my sign." Jose's sign reads: Only need $10.00 to move back to Mexico.
