Jose and Carlos are both beggars.
>
They beg in different areas of town.
>
Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects about eight or nine dollars a day.
>
Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase 'full' of ten dollar bills - he drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of cash to spend.
>
"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?"
>
Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"
