An American manufacturer is walking through his factory with an important customer from Egypt, showing him his machines. At noon, when the lunch whistle blows, two thousand men and women immediately stop work and leave the building.

“Hey, watch out, your workers, they’re escaping!” cries the visitor. “You’ve got to do something to stop them.”

“Don’t worry, Sir” says the American, “they’ll be back,”. And indeed, at exactly one o’clock the whistle blows again, and all the workers return from their break.

When the tour is over, the manufacturer turns to his guest and says, “Well, now, which of these machines would you like to order?”

“Forget the machines,” says the visitor. “Tell me the cost of that whistle?”
