On the first day, she sadly packed her belongings into boxes, crates and suitcases.
On the second day, she had the movers come and collect her things.
On the third day, she sat down for the last time at their beautiful dining-room table, by candle-light; she put on some soft background music, and feasted on a pound of shrimp, a jar of caviar,and a bottle of spring-water.
When she'd finished, she went into each and every room and deposited a few half-eaten shrimps dipped in caviar into the hollow centre of the curtain rods.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay £1.
The sixth would pay £3.
The seventh would pay £7.
The eighth would pay £12.
The ninth would pay £18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.

Two heads of investment banks meet each other and complain about their staff:
- I have cancelled their bonuses but they still come to work.
- I even cancelled their salaries: still all of them show up.
- You know what? Let's ask them for money and see what happens.
After one week they meet for a lunch and share the experience:
- Not bad at all, every day I charge them for coming in and going out. I like it. At last some cash in.
- I do the same, but those clever bastards come on Monday and leave on Friday...
