"Every Man Has His Price."

(Bizarro Comics/Dan Piraro)

That's the Ninety-Eighth Rule of Acquisition. The Two Hundred Sixty-Third is also relevant to this scene. It says, "Never allow doubt to tarnish your lust for latinum." The enterprising business owner in this cartoon may have harbored doubts about the location of her retail outlet. But her hunger for wealth pushed her forward. Excellent choice!


Reminds me of a joke:

A man wandered through the desert, desperate for water, when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the oasis, only to find a little old man at a small stand, selling ties.

The thirsty man asked, "Do you have water?"

The salesman replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $5."

The man shouted, "I do not need an overpriced tie. I need water! I must find water!"

"Okay," said the salesman, "If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a lovely restaurant. It has all the ice cold water you need."

Muttering, the man staggered away over the hill. Several hours later he staggered back, almost dead.

"They won't let me in without a tie!"
