The $100.00 bill (joke)

[Ken07AOVette]

It’s a cold day in the small Saskatchewan town of Pumphandle and Streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.

A Traveler comes to town and lays a $100 bill on the hotel desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night. As soon as he walks upstairs, the hotel owner grabs the bill and runs next
door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the $100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.

The pig farmer takes the $100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier,the Co-op.

The guy at the Co-op takes the $100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel
owner.

The hotel proprietor then places the $100 back on the counter so the
traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the $100 bill and leaves..

No one produced anything. No one earned anything....

However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how a "stimulus package" works.

Lol, isn't that the truth!

[Bushmaster]

LMAO.... You hit 'er on the nose !

[Big Daddy Badger]

True.

I read somewhere that the government usually gets most of the money spent on stimulus or tax breaks back in taxes within about 6 months.
In the end it works out to be a virtual zero cost for the government.

Hookers, hotel rooms, and pork is what it will take to save the economy!?

EDIT: where exactly do I find this prostitute that works on credit!!!!!?

Just ask the guy at the Co-op....or the guy at the Hotel.

There can't be that many working girls in Pumphouse.
I'd forget the street corner thing though.
It probably doesn't have a corner...
Good luck even finding the place...
Pumphouse must be really small...I googled it and couldn't find anything.

Nuts...I was wondering what I could get for a bag of spuds and a couple of roasting hens
.
