Just got this e-mail from a friend and had to share it;-


Subject: 1923 who was who?

1. President of the largest steel company?
2. President of the largest gas company?
3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
4. Greatest wheat speculator?
5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
6. Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the world’s most successful in their day.

Now, 86 years later, the history book asks us, if we know what ultimately became of them.

The Answers:

1. The president of the largest steel company.

Charles Schwab, died a pauper.

2. The president of the largest gas company,

Edward Hopson, went insane.

3. The president of the NYSE,

Richard Whitney,was released from prison to die at home.

4. The greatest wheat speculator,

Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.

5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself.

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide

However, in that same year, 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the
most important golf tournament, the US Open, was Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?

He played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95.

He was financially secure at the time of his death.

The Moral:


F..k work.

Play golf.
:D

I dont think it hurts to have an hour eating cheese and drinking port either!

After a golf society comp at xmas I had one of my best evenings in a long time just sitting in the pub, fire on, full up with beer so started eating cheese and drinking port chatting with my mates.... had a great laugh that night
