Just Joking

The reward

Once there was a millionaire, who kept alligators in a pool in his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single. One day he decided to throw a huge party, and during the party he announced, “My dear guests . . . I will give one million dollars or my daughter to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge alive!” As soon as he had said this there was a large splash. There was one guy in the pool swimming with all he could and screaming for his life. The crowd cheered him on.Finally, he made it to the other side with only a torn shirt and some minor injuries. The millionaire was impressed.

He said, “My boy that was incredible. Do you want my daughter or the one million dollars?”

The guy said, “Listen, I don’t want your money, nor do I want your daughter! I want the person who pushed me in.”
