As retold by
Bruce Lowitt
Three men on the beach in Miami.
"I had a lumber business," Sid says. "Huge inventory. Then one
night a fire swept through my yard, leaving me nothing to sell but ashes. So I
collected the insurance, and here I am."
"Really?" Bernie says. "I had a paper supply house. One night the
sprinkler system accidentally goes off, soaks all my inventory, and here I am in
Florida with my settlement."
"I was a tailor making nice shirts in Hawaii," Joel, says.
"Suddenly a hurricane hit and blew all my inventory out to sea. Like you, I
collected my insurance and here I sit."
The other guys look at each other, then Bernie says, "How do you start a
hurricane?"
