How does the stock market work?
Cletus and Wade watching the sunset on their tractor have a chat.

Cletus: Wade, I keep hearing on the radio, TV, read in the papers about the stock market but I still have no idea it is. Do you know?

Wade: How should I explain this to you... Let's say you buy some eggs for your farm, these eggs hatch and now you have chicks, these chicks grow up to be hens which lay more eggs out of which you get more chicks that grow up to be hens and so on and so forth and your farm is full of them. One day a big black flood ravages your land and takes all of them downstream.

Then you sit and think to yourself: *ducks... I should have gotten ducks.* That's what the stock market is like.
