Investors Business Daily in one of ONeill's books has the story of the farmer and the turkeys. Farmer has a turkey trap and sets it up to catch soem turkeys. Only problem is the trap is held up by a stick and once you pull the rope string the trap closes. So the farmer sets the trap up puts some feed in it and before long has 3/4 turkeys eating the feed. He thinks aloud " Boy if I could get another 3/4 turkeys I would be set would have enough turkey for most of the year. So finaly he has 10 turkeys in the trap and says " Boy if I could get an even dozen we would have turkey every month for a year." At that point 2 turkeys leave. He then wishes he could get back to ten and no sooner does that happen then 3 more turkeys leave. then obviously the farmer wishes for 7 and by the time he closes the trap there are only 2 turkeys left. Hardly worth the effort.. The morale of the story go to the supermarket and buy chicken or next time lets not be so greedy...<ggg>
