A machinist is slowly driving along a country road when he glimpses, in front a derelict farm, a rusty Monarch EE10. Some kittens sleeping in the lower cabinet, and on the headstock a sign reads: "KITENZ 4 SALE".
A dirty kid is sitting on a log in front of the lathe, so the machinist stop the car and asks him: «Hey, sonny, are you selling those nice kittens?»
«You bet!»
«How much do you ask for them?»
«$750 each»
The machinist looks at the kid, puzzled. $750 seems him a lot for a kitten, but he is drooling looking at the Monarch.
«How many kittens do you have, sonny?»
«Just five»
«Is there a discount if I get all of them?»
«Uhm… $3,500, sir.»
«Ok, I get them.»
The kid puts the kittens into a cardboard box and give it to the machinist, of course after having a fistful of cash into his hands.
«Listen, sonny, I think these kittens are very young. I don't want them to be scared to be into a new home. What if I get you another $100 for that rusty sort of stove they are sleeping in, so they still feel at home?»
«You mad, bro? If I give you the EE10 how do you think I can sell kittens for $750 each?»
