Nothing to Save
(Originally in English)
A salesman was trying to persuade a housewife to
buy a refrigerator. He told her it would save her
a lot of money because it was state-of-the-art and
power-saving, and would save her shopping time
as well as gasoline for the drive to the food store.
The housewife answered, "Let me tell you the truth:
We have 'saved' too much already! We have saved to
pay the loan for our new car; we have saved to
pay the mortgage for the house we live in;
we have saved to pay for our children's college
education; we have saved for the upcoming
Christmas holiday; we have saved to buy a
new dishwasher too! And now we have no more money to 'save'!"
