    The Mother of All Questions ....

    OK, here's the biggest question I have been facing for the past few days.

    If time is money, why do the rich never have enough time and still be rich? Or more appropriately, why are people, who have got lots of time on their hands, not counted as rich?

    .

    Time isn't money, time is potential money.
    In the same way as altitude is potential energy. Those who have a lot of time are potentially rich but only if they convert that time into money.

    Why can't horses eat with their feet?

    What's that chomping sound?

    Women = Time * Money

    "Time is Money"

    Therefore Women = Money * Money

    Women = Money ^ 2

    "Money is the root of all evil"

    Money = Evil ^ 1/2

    Therefore Women = ( Evil ^ 1/2 ) ^ 2

    Women = Evil

    They've used up their time-cash conversion benefits to become rich. The rest of us can't figure out how.

    After last night's Christmas party I have come to the startling realisation that money is only a larval phase in the life of time and that the end product of the transformation is, in fact, beer.

    This explains why time always passes much faster in a pub than outside of one, and why if you consume enough beer you can actually lose large chunks of time from your evening.

    And I realize that in the end, you might actually end up losing both money and time

    We got the time (not the money)
    The rich got the money (not the time)

    We have to sell our time to the rich
    They have to buy our time.

    Time is money.



    Somebody out there who got money to spend ???
