Teacher: "Now, there are two basic ways to make money on Wall Street..."
Students: "Theft and stealing?" "Lies and deceit?" "Avarice and greed?"
Teacher: "I was going to say 'stocks and bonds,' but I see you've all been reading ahead."
Students: "Finance is so cool." "I wish all math were like this." "I hear it's not wrong if the market keeps rising!"
