Some years ago, a Russian oil baron who had six children, all girls, began to despair as he had no son and heir.
Imagine his joy when one of his wives finally presented him with a son.
Just before his son's sixth birthday, the baron took him to one side and said, "Son, I am very proud of you. Anything you want, I shall get for you."
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like to have my own airline." So his father bought him United Airlines.
The next year, the baron asked the same question.
His son replied, "Daddy, I would like a boat." His father bought him The Princess Cruise Lines.
The next year, his son replied, "Daddy, I would like to be able to watch cartoons." Not wanting to look a cheapskate, his father bought him Disney Studios.
His son, who was by now really into the Disney cartoons, asked, "Daddy, I would also like a Mickey Mouse
outfit."
