A very successful businessman had a meeting with his
new son-in-law. "I love my daughter, and now I welcome
you into the family," said the man. "To show you how
much we care for you, I'm making you a 50-50 partner in
my business. All you have to do is go to the factory every
day and learn the operations."

The son-in-law interrupted, "I hate factories. I can't stand
the noise."

"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well, then you'll work
in the office and take charge of some of the operations."

"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand
being stuck behind a desk all day."

"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just make you
half-owner of a moneymaking organization, but you don't
like factories and won't work in a office. What am I going
to do with you?"

"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out."
