I recall a story of two shoe salesmen, sent to Africa to ply their trade.
One cabled back to the company after only a week, saying:
"Terrible sales prospects here - NOBODY wears shoes"

The other also cabled the company after a week, saying:
"WONDERFUL sales opportunity her - nobody wears shoes, yet"!!!

If business is too easy, it doesn't need a clever bloke like us to run it
and make money!
