Joke: Money and Brains
Julius Rosenwald, the Chicago multi-millionaire, who once said, "I never could understand the popular belief that because a man makes a lot of money he has a lot of brains"--was fond of telling the following story:
A certain man won a million dollars on number 14. When asked how he had figured it out, he said: "I had a dream. One night I saw in my dream a great big 9, and next I saw a 6, so I used my brains and figured that 9 and 6 is 14."
