A general is a guest lecturer and tells the class of officers that the session will focus on potential problems and the resulting strategies.

One of the officers in the class begins by asking the first question.
" Will we have to fight in a World War Three?"
"Yes, it looks like you will" answers the General.
"And who will be our enemy, General?" another officer asks.
"The likelihood is that it will be China."

The class is surprised, and finally one officer asks, "But General, we are 290 million people and they are about 1.5 billion. How can we possibly win?" "Well," replies the general, "think about it. In modern war, it is not the quantity, but the quality that is the key. For
example, in the Middle-East, 5 million Jews have been fighting against
180 million Arabs, and the Jews have been the winners every time."


"But sir," asks the panicky officer, "do we have enough Jews?"

Wow, talk about Chuck Nevitt getting Kevin Garnett type of money...

Legendary stock picker Mario Gabelli was ranked the highest-paid chief of a publicly traded fund last year with $37.7 million - but his investors got soaked for 30 percent losses.
