Two southern politicians, bubba and joe bob, decided to go into business together selling watermellons. They scraped together some money and bought a truck and 100 mellons for a dollar a piece. They drove to Atlanta and sold the mellons on a street corner for a dollar a piece. At the end of the day bubba counted up the money and told joe bob “we didn’t make any money.” Joe bob replied, “I told you we needed a bigger truck.”
Were they selling them in Washington DC? That may have been their problem.
