Life Lesson
KPMG: You know if you stayed out a bit longer I’m sure you’d catch more fish.
Fisherman: Yes, but why?
KPMG: Well if you caught more fish you’d have more money!
Fisherman: Yes, but why?
KPMG: Well if you had more money you could buy yourself another boat and employ some other fisherman!
Fisherman: Yes, but why?
KPMG: Well, the astute thing to do would be to start a company with a fleet of boats or perhaps even a franchise!
Fisherman: Yes, but why?
KPMG: Well, you’d make millions. You could control the entire fishing industry and build a large successful chain of international fishing businesses.
Fisherman: Yes, but why?
KPMG: You’d be rich, absolutely stinking rich!
Fisherman: Yes, but WHY would I want to be rich?
KPMG: Well, with all that money you could afford to retire early … (suddenly looking despondent) … at the sea… perhaps on the Spanish Coast, and go fishing in the morning…. (starting to look ill) and spend the rest of the day with your children and lovely wife.
Fisherman: My wife’s got some oats on the stove… would you like to come over for breakfast and meet the kids?
