	A Man and his Wife had the good fortune to possess a Goose which laid a Golden Egg every day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and, imagining


	the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it in order to secure the whole store the bird must be made of gold inside,

	they decided to kill it in order to secure the whole store of precious metal at once. But when they cut it open they found it was just like any other goose.


	Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had hoped, nor enjoyed any longer the daily addition to their wealth.


	And do you know what the moral is?


	Yeah. It's that Bush must have really fucked up the economy if a solid gold egg every day isn't enough to get by on.
