On Sunday May 8 The Sunday Times will reveal its yearly rating of the richest men in Great Britain. According to the data represented on The Daily Telegraph website, the second and the third places of the rating are taken by Russians, Alisher Usmanov and Roman Abramovich correspondingly. The Sunday Times estimated the fortune of Alisher Usmanov at 12.4 billion pounds (20.3 billion US dollars). The entrepreneur manages to boost his capital more than 2-fold (in 2010 it was equal to 4.7 billion pounds). According to the newspaper, Abramovich became 10 bln. pounds richer (16.4 billion US dollars) versus 7.4 billion last year. Nevertheless, the businessman found himself on the third place, not the second as it was earlier. The richest resident of Great Britain is still Indian entrepreneur Lakshmi Mittal. Yet his fortune shrank for the last year to 17 billion pounds (27.8 billion US dollars) from 22.5 billion pounds. The richest servant of Great Britain takes the fourth place in the list. It is Duke of Westminster Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor with the fortune of 7 billion pounds (11.5 bilion US dollars). The Sunday Times survey shows that the total sum owned by a thousand of the richest residents of Great Britain runs 395.8 billion pounds. It makes more than one third of the UK national debt.

When I told him this he said, "Look, Ive been to China four times and every time they have accepted my American Express."

The Manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says "Yeah. I was a salesman back in Minnesota ."
Well, the boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."

Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast, so I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him a twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4x4 Expedition."
The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a BOAT and a TRUCK?"
The kid said "No, the guy came in here to buy Tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot, you should go fishing.' "

The wife was very upset at first but after thinking about it said "I guess 3 times in 30 years is really not that bad! Oh by the way what is the $2000 in the drawer.
The husband replied" Well every time I got to a dozen balls I sold them.

Larry gets home late one night and his wife, Linda, says, "Where in the hell have you been?"
Larry replies, "I was out getting a tattoo."
"A tattoo?" she frowned. "What kind of tattoo did you get?"
"I got a hundred dollar bill on my privates," he said proudly.
"What the hell were you thinking?" she said, shaking her head in disdain. "Why on earth would an accountant get a hundred Dollar bill tattooed on his privates?"
"Well, one, I like to watch my money grow. Two, once in a while I like to play with my money. Three, I like how money feels in my hand. And, lastly, instead of you going out shopping, you can stay right here at home and blow a hundred bucks anytime you want."
The other day, my friends and I went to a ladies' night club. One of the girls wanted to impress the rest of us, so she pulled out a $10 bill. When the male dancer came over to us, my friend licked the $10 bill and stuck it to his butt cheek!
Not to be outdone, another friend pulled out a $20 bill. She called the guy back over, licked the $20 bill, and stuck it to his other butt cheek.
In another attempt to impress the rest of us, my third friend pulled out a $50 bill and called the guy over.
I was worried about the way things were going, but she licked the bill and just stuck it to one of his butt cheeks again.
My relief was short lived. Seeing the way things were going, the guy gyrated over to me!
Now everyone's attention was focused on me, and the guy was egging me on to try and top the $50. My brain was churning as I reached for my wallet. What could I do?
I got out my ATM card, swiped it down the crack of his ass, grabbed the 80 bucks, and went home.
