monkey in iceland

[merlodlliw]

Once upon a time, in a village, a man appeared and announced to thevillagers that he would buy monkeys for £10 each.

The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out tothe forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at £10and, as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their effort.He further announced that he would now buy at £20for a monkey.This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catchingmonkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back to their farms. The offer increased to £25 each, and the supply of monkeys became so small that it was an effort to even
find a monkey, let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at £50! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look atall these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected.

I will sell them to you at £35, and when the man returns from thecity, you can sell them to him for £50 each." The villagers rounded upall their savings and bought all the monkeys.

They never saw the man nor his assistant again, only monkeyseverywhere!

Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.

The word is "What keeps your ears apart" wasp.

On another point, spoke to a girl at a Fund Raising fair yesterday,she was
from some organisation offering ITS not her services.
Her accent was so deep, I thought she was a yank(Yank not what is sending you blind), she said she was from Belfast, I said you have a deep
brougue, she was lost. What is a brougue she asked,I almost said a shoe
but did not.
