House of Cards

One day some guys named Darryl, Craig and Richard were sitting around in their clubhouse with a few packs of cards but somehow they didn't have a full deck.  So Richard pipes up "why don't we build a house of cards, I bet we can build the tallest one in the whole wide world!"


Soon they ran out of cards and the house was not large enough for them. Alas, the trio didn't have any money. Craig chipped in, "Why don't we just buy more cards? I'm sure we can get some provincial and federal government money."


Unfortunately, the governments were broke having spent their all money and all the money they could borrow.


Darryl came the rescue with an idea, "I've got lots of friends with money, maybe they donate to us so we can buy some more cards."


So Darryl called his buddy Chuck who was instantly on board with the concept but said, "You guys are pikers, you don't think big enough.  I'll donate money, the construction unions will toss some in and we'll hire lots of staff to write reports on the proper way to build our house.  It will be a landmark! 


Of course Chuck had a plan he didn't tell the boys, once done he would sell the house to Donald Trump and make gazzillions of dollars and just start up a new unique landmark and another and another....
