King Ozymndias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Crosus, the pawnbroker, for a loan.<br /><br />Crosus said "I will give you 100,000 dinars for it."<br /><br />"But I paid a million dinars for it, " the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the King!" <br /><br />Crosus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are." <br />_________________________________________________<br /><br />A three-year-old went with his dad to see a brand new litter of kittens. Upon returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother that there were two boy kittens and two girl kittens.<br /> "How did you know?" his mother asked.<br /> "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it's printed on the bottom."
