Doug and Bill had started a business from scratch, and they built it up in to one of the most successful companies, with sales in the millions. The company was extremely prosperous and Doug and Bill lived like kings.
Almost overnight, things changed. Sales dropped sharply, former customers disappeared, and the business failed. Doug and Bill blamed each other for the troubles, and they parted on unfriendly terms.
Five years later, Doug drove up to a decrepit diner and stopped for a cup of coffee. As he was wiping some of the crumbs from the table, a waiter approached the table. Doug looked up and gasped, it was Bill.
"Bill," he said, shaking his head. "It's a terrible thing, seeing you working as a waiter in a place like this."
"Yeah," said Bill, curling his lip, "But at least I don't have to eat here."
