A millionaire is throwing a party at one of his many mansions. Suddenly he asks the band to stop playing and, looking at the pool in which he breeds crocodiles, announces:
“Whoever jumps in this pool, manages to swim to the other side and get out will win all my cars.”
“Anyone up for it?”
The shocked guests remain silent and the millionaire says:
“Whoever jumps in the pool, manages to swim to the other side and get out will win my cars and my executive jets. Anyone up for it?”
Silence reigns and, once more, the millionaire offers:
“Whoever jumps in the pool, manages to swim to the other side and get out will win my cars, my executive jets and my mansions.”
At that moment someone jumps into the pool. The ensuing scene is amazing.
Fighting intensely, the man defends himself however he can, pushing snapping jaws away with his hands and feet, twisting tails, and thrashing wildly. It’s an incredible sight, just like a scene from a Crocodile Dundee movie.
After several minutes of terror and panic the courageous guy climbs out on the other side of the pool, covered in scratches and bruises, and virtually naked.
The millionaire walks over, congratulates the guy and asks:
“Where do you want me to deliver the cars?”
“Thanks, but I don’t want your cars.”
Surprised, the millionaire asks:
“And the executive jets, where do you want me to deliver them?”
“Thanks, but I don’t want your planes.”
Surprised at the guy’s reaction, the millionaire asks:
“And my mansions?”
“I have a beautiful house – I don’t need yours. You can keep them. I don’t want anything of yours.”
Impressed, the millionaire asks:
“But if you don’t want any of the things that I offered, what do you want, then?”
To which the man, irritated, replies:
“To find the bastard who pushed me in the pool!”
