Two billionaire friends meet up for a long overdue lunch…
After a casual conversation, one of them finally asks, “So, how’s your home life?”
“Couldn’t be better,” says the second guy, “I bought an elephant.”
The first guy looks at him in astonishment, “An elephant? Have you gone mad?” he asks.
The second guy, smiling, replies, “Oh man, let me tell you, it’s the best purchase I have ever made!… “
“He grazes on the lawn, making it nice and even.”
“The kids love him. They’re always riding on his back and sliding down his trunk… “
“It keeps them outside instead of in front of the television all day.”
“My wife loves him too. He’s super strong and helps her with moving things around when I’m not at home.”
“Let me tell you, he’s the best pet I’ve ever had!”
The other billionaire scratches his chin…
“Yeah, that actually sounds pretty amazing. How much did you pay for him?”
“A million bucks. Worth every penny, he was a steal at that price!” replies the other man.
“Will you sell him to me for two million?” the other billionaire asks.
“Oh, no! What are you asking? Sell him? He’s like family!”
“How about three million?”
“I don’t know. You really can’t put a price on this kind of friendship and usefulness.”
“All right, five million!”
“Five million? Well, okay, I’ll sell him to you, but only because we’re friends.”
A few weeks later, the two billionaires meet up again…
The guy who bought the elephant is VERY angry.
As soon as he sees the other guy, he starts yelling, “What the heck did you sell to me?!… “
“Not only does he not graze the lawn, but he completely destroyed all my greenery and trees!”
“There’s elephant dung everywhere, you can even smell it inside the house!… “
“And what was that about kids? They are terrified of the thing! It’s aggressive, massive and scary!”
“I cannot sleep because he trumpets all the time!… “
“My wife has been having nightmares, and now I won’t hear the end of her bickering until I die!”
“It’s awful! The worst purchase of my entire life!”
The other billionaire rolls his eyes at him and says, “Well, I don’t know what to say… “
“But with that attitude, you’ll never be able to sell him.”

You don’t get it Bette? It’s because the new owner of the elephant has to lie like the first one to sell it to the next victim.
