Once an engineer was driving in a ranch and killed a calf that was crossing the road. The driver went to the owner of the calf and explained what had happened. He then asked what the animal was worth.
тАЬOh, about $200 today,тАЭ said the redneck. тАЬBut in six years it would have been worth $900. So $900 is what IтАЩm out.тАЭ
Engineer sat down and wrote out a check and handed it to the redneck.
тАЬHere,тАЭ he said, тАЬis the check for $900. ItтАЩs postdated six years from now.тАЭ
