THAT'S a business.

A Jewish kid informs his father that he's decided to join the army rather than go into business.
His father inquires: "What kind of job could you have in the army?"
The young man replies: "Well, I start out as a private, but I could got to corporal or sergeant."
"Corporal...sergeant...." the father says; "That's no business."
"I could become a lieutenant or maybe captain" the young man responded.
"Lieutenant...captain....that's no business" father said in disgust.
"OK dad", he replied. "How about getting promoted to major, or colonel, or general."
"Still no business" the father insisted. "Where could you go after general?"
The son answered: "I could become field marshall."
The old man says: "field marshall... that's no business. Marshall Fields, THAT'S a business."
