A guy visits the wealthiest man in town to ask for a donation to a charity.
"Our records show you are quite well off, would you consider making a donation?"
"Do 'your records' show that my sister recently lost her husband and now has 4 children to feed?"
"No, ..."
"Do 'your records' show that my mother is severely ill and needs expensive round the clock medical care?"
"No, but ..."
"Do 'your records' show that my adult child is developmentally disabled and will likely never be able to be independent?"
"We had no idea ..."
"So, if I'm not going to give any of THEM a single penny, what makes you think I would donate anything to you?"
