[Rhodes22-list] Joke: Such a Deal!

[ASNOOCH at aol.com]

Now this is world shaking news worth some  consideration....
 
 
TWIN BROTHERS WERE NAMED  JOE AND JOHN JONES. 
THE SINGLE BROTHER WAS THE PROUD OWNER OF A DILAPIDATED  BOAT. 

IT HAPPENED THAT JOHN’S WIFE DIES THE SAME DAY AS JOE’S BOAT  SANK.
A FEW DAYS LATER, A KINDLY OLD LADY MET JOE ON FRONT STREET AND  MISTAKING 
HIM FOR JOHN SAID, “ OH,I’M SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR GREAT LOSS.  YOU MUST 
FEEL TERRIBLE.” 
THEN JOE SPOKE UP SAYING “ WELL, I’M NOT THE LEAST  BIT WORRIED. SHE WAS A 
ROTTEN OLD THING FROM THE BEGINNING. HER BOTTOM WAS ALL  SHRIVELED UP AND SHE 
SMELLED LIKE A DEAD FISH AND EVEN THE FIRST TIME I GOT INTO  HER SHE MADE WATER 
FASTER THAN ANYTHING I HAD EVER SEEN. SHE HAD A BAD CRACK IN  THE BACK AND A 
PRETTY BIG HOLE IN THE FRONT. THE HOLE GOT BIGGER EVERY TIME I  USED HER, AND 
SHE LEAKED LIKE ANYTHING.

BUT THIS IS WHAT FINISHED HER:  FOUR GUYS FROM SOUTHOLD, LOOKING FOR A GOOD 
TIME ASKED IF I WOULD RENT HER TO  THEM.

The four  Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max,
invented and developed  the first automobile air-conditioner.
On July 17, 1946, the temperature in  Detroit was 97 degrees.

The four brothers walked into old man Henry  Ford's office and 
sweet-talked his 
secretary into telling him that  four gentlemen were here
with the most exciting innovation in the auto  industry since the 
electric starter.

Henry was curious and  invited them into his office. They refused
and instead asked that he come  out to the parking lot to their car.

They persuaded him to get  into the car, which was about 130
degrees, turned on the air conditioner,  and cooled the car off
immediately.

The old man got very excited and  invited them back
to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the  patent.

The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million,  but
they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The  Goldberg
Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it  was
installed.

Now old man Ford was more than just a little  anti-Semitic, and there was 
no way he was going to put
the   Goldberg's name on two million Fords.

They haggled back and forth for  about two hours, and finally agreed on 
$4 million and that
just their  first names would be shown.

And so to this day, all Ford air  conditioners show Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max 
on the controls.

So, now  you know the rest of the  story...
