Yes, I'm breaking the rules but someone gave me a very thought provoking unascribed quote which I thought I would share:

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right - thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of the society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck".

I'll post more jokes next time.
