    It a joke . Kind of like the farmer that won powerball . They ask him what he was going to do with the money he won . He said with the money he could afford to farm a few more years.

    Kinda the opposite of what my old man said about contractors.

    If a contractor tells you he lost $20,000 on a job that means he figured to make $60,000 but only made $40,000....
