Finance Course

I'd been working on my business degree for about a year when
I finally got to take a popular finance course. I went to the
bookstore to buy the text and was shocked to find out that it
would cost me $96. I asked how much it was worth if I sold it
back at the end of the semester.

"You'll get $24," said the clerk.

"This is insane," I protested as I wrote out the check.

"I know," replied the clerk sympathetically. "I've always thought
that a person who buys a finance book for $96 and then sells it
back for $24 should fail the course." :15::281:
