MG,
here is my favorite joke on the subject.
The correspondent on Wall Street Journal is taking interview from the billionaire and he asked him:
"Is that true that you don't know how to read and to write?"
-yes, this si all true.
"but how did you make all your money?
- I was a very poor child, no parents, so I came to rabbi and asked him for money. Rabbi asked if I knew how to write, I said no, rabbi asked if I knew how to read, I said no,
rabbi said, it's too bad, I need an assistant, if you knew how to read and write, I'd hire you. He tore the button from his coat, gave it to me and sent me to the market to sell it and buy food. I went to the market, I sold the button,
I ran to the wholesaler and bought 6 buttons,
I sold them at the market, ran to wholesaler and bought 60 buttons...in 5 years I've had 27 button factories all over the world
AND IF I KNEW HOW TO READ AND TO WRITE I'D STILL BE RABBI'S ASSISTANT!
