A fire broke out in a plastics plant somewhere in the mountains. The distraught owner was insured, but he desperately needed for the volunteer firefighters to retrieve a sheaf of documents which contained details of his exclusive manufacturing processes.
So, he offered $200,000 to any firefighter who was brave enough to enter his office and retrieve the documents.
No one volunteered – and then suddenly came brave Lybish Vertzberger fin der New Joel volunteer fire department, who happens to be a copy machine repairman in civilian life. He drove his fire engine straight into the mess, put out the fire, and listened carefully as the owner screamed out the description of the papers and told him where to find them.
An hour later, Vertzberger appeared, documents in hand, and practically unscathed except for some soot covering his face, beard and payos. The relieved owner handed him $200,000 in cash in exchange for the documents and asked him what he was planning to do with his money:
The answer was fast in coming: “First from all, also I fix your Xerox machine so you owes me noch $20. Anyway, not to worry because mit der money I open a naye plastics plant in New Joel. Den I getz a few oisvorfen to make a few fires by all myne new competitors a plants so I ken make more reskues like dis!”
