that was so popular about a year ago. Maybe the RWers scrubbed it from the internet.

It was something about 10 guys eating a plate of cookies. The rich guy took all the cookies and left the last one for the rest, then said something.

I like the one about the Wall street guys who walk into a bar and smash it up and when they leave say, Put it on the taxpayers tab. (or something like that).
