Weill and Mahoney had started with only five hundred dollars… – анекдот на

Weill and Mahoney had started with only five hundred dollars between them, but they had built up a computer business with sales in the millions. Their company employed over two hundred people, and the two executives lived like princes.

Almost overnight, things changed. Sales dropped sharply, former customers disappeared, and the business failed. Weill and Mahoney blamed each other for the troubles, and they parted on unfriendly terms.

Five years later, Weill drove up to a decrepit diner and stopped for a cup of coffee. As he was wiping some crumbs from the table, a waiter approached. Weill looked up and gasped.

“Mahoney!” he said, shaking his head. “It’s a terrible thing, seeing you working as a waiter in a place like this.”

“Yeah,” Mahoney said, curling his lip. “But I don’t eat here.”
