*The London Times:*

Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England , there is a parking lot for
150 cars and 8 coaches, or buses.

It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine
charging cars (about $1.40) and buses (about $7). This parking attendant
worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then, one day, he just didn't turn up
for work.

"Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management - "we'd better phone up
the City Council and get them to send a new parking attendant..."
"Err .. no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your
responsibility."

"Err ... no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was
employed by the City Council, wasn't he?"
"Err .. NO!" insisted the Council.

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain , is a man
who had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at (about $560) per day
at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years.
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over ($7 million)!
And no one even knows his name.
*I just love happy endings!!*
