In Europe a man has a little bit of money.  So he walks to the farmer and buys a sheep.  He takes the sheep home, sheers it for wool and makes a nice jacket and other nice clothes which he sells and makes a meager living.


In America a guy has a few dollars and walks to the farmer where he buys a sheep.  He takes the sheep home, sheers it for wool and makes some nice clothes.  Then he goes back outside and slaughters the sheep having a great dinner.  He sells a large portion of the meat and uses the hide to make fine leather shoes which he sells.  Then he goes back to the farmer looking for more sheep.  Which means the farmer needs more workers and sells more sheep each year.  This helps the economy.

In the meantime in Europe the man finds out one morning that his sheep has died after 10 years of making wool for him.  So he walks back to the farmer only to see that the farmer had left for better opportunities in America long ago.


On the way walking home the poor sad European gets splashed by a nice big American SUV with the American guy driving while on vacation........
