The Hot Dog Man, and the Recession:

Once upon a time, there was a good man,
who had worked hard all his life.  He disliked his work.  It was not rewarding.  His boss was never happy.   But he worked hard.  Until, one day,  this man decided he had had enough, and he quit.

He just walked out.  He went home and told his wife.  She cried. 

How are we going to send our boy to college”, she asked?  The man thought for a minute and then said, “I will think of something”.  After a while, he decided to do something he has always wanted to do.  He would sell hot dogs on the street corner from a little hot dog cart on wheels.
