Fluctuations
July 19th, 2005
An Asian man walks into a New York Currency Exchange with 2000 yen. He receives $72.00 in American currency. The following week, the same Asian man walks into the same currency exchange. He again exchanges 2000 yen. This time, he receives $66.00 in American currency. The Asian man doesn’t understand why he received less money, so he asks the clerk, “Why less money when same 2000 yen”
The clerk replies, “Fluctuations.” As the Asian man prepares to leave, he turns, looks at the clerk and angrily says, “No, Fluck Amelicans”
