Coulda Been Worse
A banker
calls in an oilman to review his loans. "We loaned you a million to revive your old
wells, and they went dry," says the banker.
"Coulda been worse," the oilman replies.
"Then we loaned you a million to drill new wells, and they were dry."
"Coulda been worse."
"Then we loaned you another million for new drilling equipment, and it broke down.
"Coulda been worse."
"I'm getting tired of hearing that!" snaps the banker.
"How could it have been worse?"
"Coulda been my money," says the oilman.
