Which is another kind of ignorance.
--_Byron_.

"What's the difference between capital and labor?"
"If I had to work and turn three-fourths of my wages over to you, that
would be labor."
"Yes?"
"On the other hand, if you had to work and turn three-fourths of your
wages over to me, that would be capital."

BOSS--"No; we have all the men we need.
