Conclusion
When I was a kid, we used to go to Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, California. Right at the entrance to the wharf was an organ grinder and his little monkey. The monkey and his master were capitalists to the hilt. What the monkey basically did was go out into the crowd that surrounded him and take coins from people's outstretched hands. Now, if the coin was a penny, the little monkey would just take it and stuff it into its little coin-holding apron. If the coin you held out was a nickel or dime the little monkey would give you a handshake. If your coin was a quarter, the monkey would kiss the back of your hand. If you got a handshake instead of a kiss, you felt cheated.

I recently learned that now, due to inflation and greed, the monkey won't kiss you unless you give him a dollar. All I want to say is, make sure you get a kiss instead of a handshake the next time you take a Lotus course.
