there once was a baker during the great depression, who had to collect on the bills due

His wife decided that she was fed up with unpaid bills of $100 for bread and rolls, and wishing to preserve domestic peace, he went out and confronted one customer with a demand for settlement.

The guy had no cash, and offererd anything in the house that might compensate, but there was nothing to satisfy the baker.

 How about a car? There were several in the garage. The baker picked out a sedan, and replied, "I gotta car," and made his frustrated departure.

The baker's wife was not satisfied, so he set out and tried again. Soon convinced that cash was not forthcoming and with no other alternative in prospect, he became the grumbling owner of a 1912 Locke-bodied Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost!
