Harvard Gringo
An American consultant was at the pier of a small coastal
Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman
docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin
tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the
quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The Mexican replied, “Only a little while.”
The American then asked, “Why don’t you stay out longer
and catch more fish?
The Mexican said, “Well, I catch enough to feed my family.”
The American then asked, “But what do you do with the
rest of your time?”
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play
with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into
the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar
with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor.”
The American scoffed, “I’m a Harvard graduate and could
help you. You should spend more time fishing and with
the proceeds, buy a bigger boat with the proceeds from
the bigger boat you could buy several boats eventually
you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling
your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the
processor, eventually opening your own cannery.
You would control the product, processing and distribution.
You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village
and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC
where you will run your expanding enterprise.”
The Mexican fisherman asked, “But senor, how long
will this all take?”
To which the American replied, “15-20 years.”
“But what then, senor?”
The American laughed and said, “That’s the best part.
When the time is right you would announce an IPO
and sell your company stock to the public.
You would make millions.”
“Millions, senor? Then what?”
The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to
a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late,
fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife,
stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip
wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”

First Time in Church
The little girl went to church for the first time.
As she was leaving with her parents, the minister
asked how she had liked church.
“I liked the music,” she replied, “but …
the commercial was too long.”
