Z, Many thanks for your account on FTEL. I'll have to catch up with this one. I tended to treat it as an open ended option.. OK here it is: the two burritos story or joke. Two guys T and B. T lives at the top of the mountain and B..well..Now, T has a burrito. One day, when he comes down the mountain to visit his friend B, he takes his burrito with him. B likes the burrito so much that he offers to buy it for 1 real (or peso or whatever other strong currency you like.) Now when a few weeks later B climbs the mountain to visit T he takes his burrito with him. T, who thinks that he made a mistake selling the burrito, offers to buy it back for 2 reais..This continues for many years: T and B visiting each other and trading the burrito for exponentially increasing prices..One day many years later B, who happens to own the burrito at the time decides that it is time to let the animal go. It is too old for this thing, in fact it can hardly walk much less climb the mountain. So he kills the beast. Then he decides to visit T. As usual T is eager to buy the burrito back: where is our beloved burrito he asks, before he learns the dark truth. The burrito is dead. But how could you do such thing B! What are going to do to make a living now? Victor
