King Ozymandias 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 Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it."
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!"
Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."

I was watching the news, with my blonde wife tonight.
There was a demonstration by some tree huggers, about the impact of wind farms on the countryside.
"******* idiots." I moaned.
My wife said, "Well I agree with them, I think it's cruel to farm wind, it should be left to roam free, as nature intended."
