I was cleaning some old files of mine and thought some of you might find interesting or at least amusing the following, I posted it several years ago:

Edgy@Agoracom's ECU forum.
Bob: Hey Joe, how are you doing?
Joe: Having a hard time filling my ECU allotment.
Bob: How about I sell you some at a penny below?
Joe: Great, but what is the catch?
Bob: Does it matter?, you just sell them back to me for a penny less than you bought.
Joe: Oh? What makes you think you will get them back?
Bob: Well not all of them will come back But if done quickly the price will be right and I should be able to aquire other's shares at the same price. You know what I mean?
Joe: Yeah! Looks good and it will work for me too. How about we do the ring around a couple more times, that way they should get the message that this stock is whimpy. Penny lost here but two collected before the close.
Bob: Lets see how far we can go with this.
Joe: Thanks, Have a great day.
