Three Spendthrifts: A Fable

Three men walk into a Dublin bar they found with good reviews on their smart phone. They are told to their dismay that the establishment is a club with membership requirements. The men ask what the membership fee is as they plan to spend about 800 dollars on food and drinks and the money doesn't matter. The maître de says, in that case, he will just say they are members and allows them in, breaking the club rules. Later on in the night the three men are planning to leave. The maître de stops and tells them they should stay because Bono is coming  soon. The men decide to stay but after several hours of more outrageous spending their cards are maxed out and, with no Bono, they leave. In the cab home one looks up "Bono" on his phone and finds U2 is in Australia.

Moral: 1. Eventually the money will matter. 2. Someone who is dishonest to your advantage might as easily be dishonest to your disadvantage.
