RELATIVE FORTUNES
A man goes into a bar and sees a friend at a table, drinking by himself.
"You look terrible," says the man. "What's the problem?"
"My mother died in August," says the friend, "and left me £25,000."
"Gee, that's tough," replies the man.
"Then in September," the friend continues, staring deep into his glass, "my father died, leaving me £90,000."
"Wow! Two parents gone in two months. No wonder you're depressed."
"And last month my aunt died, and left me £15,000."
"Three close family members lost in three months. How sad," says the man in a comforting tone.
"Then this month," his friend goes on, "absolutely nothing!"
