#Person1#: Do you collect cola cans, Steve? #Person2#: No. Why do you ask? #Person1#: You have so many empty cans here. #Person2#: Well, my mum wants me to keep all the cans, so that we can sell them after a while. #Person1#: Aha, you are going to make a millionaire of yourself sooner or later with all those cans. #Person2#: You bet I will.
