We do trust in our riches. Our words prove it. America’s national retirement plan is called “Social Security.” We call our investments “securities” and “trusts,” as if we can trust them for a secure future. We also make money a god in additional ways. We give it the title of deity: “the Almighty Dollar.” We make money a judge. When someone asks, “What is he worth?” he or she means, “How much money, how many assets, does he have?” We speak as if a man’s financial assets determine his worth.

Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrive at the Italian border. The
Italian Customs agent stops them and tells them: "Itsa illegal to putta fiva
people ina Quattro."

"What do you mean it's illegal?" asked the Englishmen. "Quattro means
four" replies the Italian official. "Quattro is just the name of the
automobile," the Englishmen retort disbelievingly. "Look at the papers: this
car is designed to carry 5 persons."

"You can'ta pulla thata one ona me," replies the Italian customs agent.
"Quattro means four. You hava fiva people ina your car and you are
therefore breakin'a the law".

The Englishmen replies angrily, "You idiot! Call your supervisor over I
want to speak to someone with more intelligence!"

"Sorry," responds the Italian official, "he can'ta come. He'sa busy with
2 guys in a Uno."
