Joke of the day

Via samizdata:

Three white collar prisoners are hanging around the yard comparing notes:

Former Exxon executive: They say I charged too much for oil. I'm in for price gouging.

Former Microsoft executive: They say I charged too little for software. I'm in for unfair competition.

Former Samsung executive: They say I charged the same price as everyone else for computer chips. I'm in for price fixing.

Heh. Its funny coz its true. If public officials don't like you and your succesful big business, you can be dragged down and prosecuted for any random crime, in just about every western economy now.
