Re: True scientific advancement
Alex was walking through the airport when he notices a man struggling with two obviously heavy suitcases. The always-helpful Alex offers to help the frail looking man. As he reaches to releave the man of one of the suitcases, he notices the most bizzare looking watch he has ever seen.......
Alex: [colour=red]Hey, where did you get that watch?[/colour]
Stranger: [colour=blue]I inveted it. It has a built-in phone, internet, tells time in any part of the globe, it can translate 12 different languages, and it's GPS equipped.[/colour]
Alex: [colour=red]Sir, I would love to own a watch like that. I'll give you $1000 for it.[/colour]
Stranger: [colour=blue]I'm afraid this baby is nowhere NEAR ready for retail. It's only a prototype and I could not possibly sell it.[/colour]
Alex: [colour=red]But I have got to have it. I'll give you $10,000.[/colour]
Stranger: [colour=blue]I can't sell it, sir. I have too much time invested in research to part with it just yet. I am truly sorry.
[/colour]Alex: [colour=red]Okay....I'll give you $250,000 cash. With that kind of money you can start over on your research, and still keep a huge chunck of cash for yourself. Please, please, please sell me that watch.[/colour]
Stranger: [colour=blue]Well I guess you have a point, and I could use the extra money.........................well...OKAY, I'll do it.[/colour]
Alex whips out his checkbook and squares away with the stranger and turns to walk away with a huge grin on his face.
Stranger: [colour=blue]SIR....SIR.[/colour]
Alex turns around to find the man pointing at the two unusually heavy suitcases he had been carrying.
Stanger:...[colour=blue].........DON'T FORGET YOUR BATTERIES.[/colour]
