According to Carlos and Jose

Carlos and Jose are beggars. They beg in different areas of town.

Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but he collects only about $8.00 or $9.00 a day.

Jose, on the other hand, brings home a suitcase full of ten-dollar bills every day. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has a lot of money to spend.

"Hey, amigo," Carlos said to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?

Jose said, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"

Carlos reads his sign: "I have no work, a wife, and six kids to support."

"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks Jose.

Jose said, "Man ... it's no wonder you only make $8.00 or $9.00 a day!"

Carlos says, "Okay, so what's your sign say?"  

Jose's sign.
