Jose and Carlos


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?" 
> 
>
>     Carlos' sign reads: 
>          
>     I have no work, a wife, and 
>     six kids to support
>
> 
"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!" 
>      
Carlos says, "Alright, so what does your sign say?" 
>      
> 
>     Jose's sign reads:  
> 
>     I only need ten dollars 
>     to get back to Mexico
