A famous art collector is walking through the city when
he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the
doorway of a store.
He does a double take, as he notices that the saucer
is extremely old and very valuable. He walks casually
into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars.
The store owner replies, "I'm sorry, but the cat
isn't for sale."
The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat
around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you twenty dollars
for that cat."
And the owner says "Sold," and hands over
the cat.
The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks
I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's
used to it and it'll save me having to get a dish."
And the owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my
lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold sixty-eight cats."
