A successful businessman welcomed his new son-in-law into the family by making him an equal partner in his business. "All I want you to do is go to the factory every day and learn the business."
The son-in-law replied, "No way. I hate factories. I can't stand the noise!"
"Well, uh, let's see," said the father-in-law, "why don't you work in the office and learn the business that way?"
"No way. I hate office work. I don't want to be stuck behind a desk all day!"
"Now just a minute, son. I just made you a half-owner of my business. If you won't work in the factory and you won't work in the office, what can I do with you?"
"Easy," said the son-in-law. "Buy me out!"
