Vick's VapoRub
A man had a furniture store specializing in ornate baroque
style antiques. He had a terrible cold, but was at his
store working anyway.
He was sitting in one of the baroque style chairs rubbing
Vicks VapoRub on his aching chest when he, quite by
accident, got some on the chair. This proved
serendipitous, as he discovered that the soothing ointment
gave the furniture a wonderful, deep, rich shine.
He immediately told several other furniture store owner
friends.
Soon after, he got reports that the Vicks treatment had not
only failed to work on their more modern furniture, but it
even ruined some of them! Needless to say, he is not very
unpopular with those friends now.
He did learn an important lesson, however ... if it's not
baroque, don't Vicks it.

Look on My Works...
King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after
years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession
was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in
the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the
pawnbroker, to get a loan.
Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested.
Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"
Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no
difference who you are."
