- It was a quiet day in the town of Hickibob. Herb just got home from his job down at the plant and was very anxious just to
- plop himself down on the couch and have a beer.
- "Honey will you get me a beer?" Herb exclaimed.
- "Sure thing Herb. So honey how was your day at the plant?"
- "The same as every other day. The boss is always on my case about something."
- "Don't worry honey, soon as we win that lottery you can quit your job at the plant," Suzy replied kiddingly.
- "Ya sure, like that will ever happen."
- The next day Herb's son Mark comes home from school with a black eye.
- "Son what happened?" Herb frantically exclaimed!
- "I got the snot beat out of me because we don't have much money and they don't like the clothes I wear. Oh, and they
- also said you were a bum."
- "Don't you go listening to them son they don't know what there talking about. I'll phone the school and get this
- straightened out."
- Suddenly Suzy came screaming into the living room.
- "Shout up Suzy I'm trying to get a hold of the school!"
- "Herb we just won the lottery!" Suzy being very thrilled.
- "What! how much?" Herd excitedly replied.
- They then phoned the lottery headquarters. The people at the main office said they'd have to fly to Winnipeg to receive
- their money. The next day they were off to Winnipeg. After they got home they decided they were going to start a whole
- new life. They were moving to Beverly Hills.
- "I can't wait to leave, we'll start our whole live over and never have money problems again," replied Suzy.
- "The best part of it is I'll never have to work another day," replied Herb.
- "Ya and no one will ever bug me again because we don't have money," Mark exclaimed.
- The next week was the best week of their lives. Once they got to their Beverly Hills mansion they decided to just relax for
- a few days before they decided where to invest their money. The next couple of days they swam in their large pool,
- shopped, drank, and just lived life to it's fullest. Before long Herb thought he better invest all his money somewhere, so he
- could start collecting interest. Herb thought the best way to find a investor was through the phoneboob. The name of the
- place was Crazy Willy's Investment Agency. Herb then decided to give Crazy Willy a telephone call.
- "Is this Crazy Willy's Investment Agency?" Herb questioned.
- "Sure is, this is Crazy Willy himself."
- "Yes, I have ten million dollars and was wondering if you could help me invest it?"
- "Well I'll have to check my schedule, but I think I can fit you in."
- "That would be great when could we meet?"
- " Well....say tomorrow at 9:00."
- "That would be great see you tomorrow."
- The next day Herb went down to Willy's.
- "So how are you today Herb?"
- "Oh not to bad"
- "Well let's get down to business"
- "O.K, I figured out we'll put three million into bond, another four million into T-Bills and the rest will just go into a savings
- account," explained Willy.
- "Well for the little bit I know about money that sounds like a good plan," replied Herb.
- "That's good, I'll get the papers ready for you to sign."
- The next day Willy called Herb to tell him to come down to the office to sign the papers. When Herb got there the papers
- that he was to sign were like a book, so Willy told him everything was sorted and he just had to sign on the dotted line.
- Herb thought this was great. He got his money invested and all he had to do now was relax. This is where he was wrong.
- A few days later Herb was wondering how his money was doing.
- "Honey I'm just going to see Willy about our money."
- "O.K see you later."
- Herb then went down to Willy's office, but when he got there he saw a big for sale sign on the door. He knocked on the
- door, but the place was empty. Herb immediately went down to the bank to see if his money was alright.
- "Why if it isn't Herb," the cashier lady said.
- "Yes, I was wondering if I could see my bank statement."
- "Why certainly Herb."
- "What the hell's going on there's only 3.3 million left in my account! What happened to the other two-thirds."
- "A weird greasy man came in here with all the right papers with your signature on all of them."
- "He was suppose to invest it for me not steal it from me."
- "I'll call the police," exclaimed the bank teller.
- When the police got there they told Herb there wasn't much they could do about it because Willy had probably skipped the
- country. Now was the tough part, to go home and tell his family he lost a large portion of their money.
- "Honey I have something to tell you."
- "Oh, what is it dear"
- "You better sit down. I lost all our money."
- "What!"
- "Willy scammed us out of half our money. We have about 3.3 million left, enough to get by."
- "Well surely we can get by on 3.3 million."
- A few day's later Herb heard back from the police. They said that Willy had an airline ticket for Cuba and there wasn't
- anything they could do about it.
