A successful merchant banker parked his brand-new
Porsche in front of the
office, ready to show it off to his colleagues. As he got out, a
truck came
along, too close to the curb, and completely tore off the
driver's door.
The banker immediately grabbed his cell phone, dialed 999, and it
wasn't more
than 5 minutes before a policeman pulled up.
Before the cop had a chance to ask any questions, the banker
started
screaming hysterically. His car, which he had just picked up the
day before,
was now completely ruined and would never be the same, no matter
how the body
shop tried to make it new again.
After the banker finally wound down from his rant, the cop shook
his head
indisgust and disbelief.
"I can't believe how materialistic you bankers are," he
said. "You are so
focused on your possessions that you don't notice anything
else."
"How can you say such a thing?" asked the banker,
arrogantly.
The cop replied, "Didn't you know that your left arm is
missing from the
elbow down? It must have been torn off when the truck hit
you."
"F*ck!!!!!!!!" screamed the banker. "Where's my
Rolex?"
