I always liked The Two Ronnies sketch where two old tramps are sitting in a field. One says:
Tramp 1: "If I was Rockefeller, I'd have more money than he has".
Tramp 2: "How'd you work that out?"
Tramp 1: "I'd clean windows on the side".

I can't shake the feeling that this sketch has had a significant impact on my financial life.
