How To Make 156 Million People Happy
An email I had to share...

Presidential candidates, Mitt Romney, John McCain, and Mike Huckabee were flying to a convention.

Mitt looked at John, chuckled and said, 'You know, I could throw a $1000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy.'

John shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy.'

Mike added, 'That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of the window and make a hundred people very happy.'

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his co-pilot,
'Such big-shots back there. I could throw all of them out of the window and make 156 million people very happy.'


Are you one of the 156 million? Or should that number be 300 million or 3 billion?

Cheers...

2. Well, if the pilot is referring to the number of American voters,
it would be closer to 156 million than to 300 million. If he is referring to the total US population, yes 300 million would be more accurate.
