A Rich Old Man is Being Interviewed

A rich old man is being interviewed about how he got his vast wealth. He tells the interviewer "You see, son - at first I had nothing. Not even a penny.

The interviewer, scribbling notes, asks "And how long did this go on for?" The rich man replies "Oh, I did this for about a week until I had just over a dollar. Then my uncle died and left me a million bucks..."
