Polished Apples Gets You Rich A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old guy fingered his worsted wool vest and said, "Well, , it was 1979. The depth of President Carter's recession. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents. The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I'd accumulated a fortune of $1.37. Then my wife's father died and left us two million dollars." |

This style of joke is called "Irony" and it means the ending is not what you expect. Reporter asking him how he getting rich. Man tels story of hard work and making so little money. But in the end he says his real fortune comes from the dead father of his wife. So his fortune is he married lucky, not polish the apple to sell. Hope you understand now. VICKY
