Abundance
An American businessman , traveling on a train in Europe, met a
Cuban tobacco grower, a Russian vodka distiller and an American
lawyer.
While they were talking business, the Cuban took out four cigars
and passed them around. After lighting his own cigar, the Cuban
took one drag and then threw it out the window, explaining that
cigars were of no consequence in his country since there was such
an abundance of them.
After dinner, the Russian passed out bottles of vodka. After taking
just one swig, he threw the bottle out the window, explaining that
vodka was of no consequence since, in Russia, it was so plentiful.
The American businessman sat in quiet contemplation for several
minutes then arose and threw the lawyer out the window.
