Two farmers had side-by-side businesses. One day they were standing and talking at the fence that divided their properties. An economic depression had come over the land, and they were discussing how each of them were coping. One said to the other “I’m not doing so well. I don’t know how to make ends meet with so many animals to feed and all the costs of maintaining my property.” The other responded, “Well, I found a way. I’ve started feeding my animals less and less every day. Actually, I finally got my goat to work with no food at all! But then he went ahead and died on me!”
