ABSTRACT

There’s a joke that goes something like this (with apologies to whoever created this joke for my butchering of it). An investment banker in London was getting out of his brand new Rolls Royce, when a lorry came too close and took the car’s right door o . The banker got out, ranting and raving about how he just bought the car as a reward for his latest million-pound bonus, and now the car will never be the same. A police o cer was right next to the car and saw the whole incident. He said, “Look at you. You are so caught up in your possessions that you neglect the most important things in life.” The banker replied, “How can you say such a thing?” The o cer pointed at the banker and said, “You didn’t even notice that, when the lorry took your door, it took your right arm with it!” “Oh my God!”, the banker exclaimed, “My Rolex!”
