Today we had a lesson from Deutoronomy concering Joseph.
The teacher went on about how Joseph told Pharoh to put 20% away from each of the "years of plenty" to survive the "years of famine".
Then the teacher asked me: "The first time you ever heard or read this story what did this mean to you?"
I told him: "I wish I could say that at an early age I learned to put away 20% of everything for my later years."
"Unfortuantely I seem to have only gleaned: That if you have a fifth in reserve you can weather any crisis."
This one was for you Fezz.
