FOR THAT.......
A Goan manufacturer (Baltazar) is showing his machine factory to a potential
customer (Zobokov) from Cyprus.
At noon, one o'clock, the lunch whistle blows, Nineteen hundred men and women
immediately stop work and leave the building.
Zobokov: (with a surprise) "Mr. Baltazar... your workers, they are escaping!"
"You got to stop them."
Baltazar: (smiles) "Don’t worry, they’ll be back,"
And indeed, at exactly two o’clock the whistle blows again, and all the workers
return from their break.
When the tour in the factory is over, the manufacturer (Baltazar) turns to his
guest (Zobokov) and says:
Baltazar: "Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?"
Zobokov: "Forget the machines," "How much do you want for that whistle?"
