There was once an American robber called Mr Willie Sutton. When he was asked why he robbed banks. He replied: “`Cos that’s where the money is”. It was an uncomplicated philosophy which served him well until he was caught and marched off to prison.

To Probe or Not To Probe, This Is the Answer
“Just as it is impossible not to taste the
honey or the poison that finds itself at the tip of the tongue, so it is impossible
for a Government servant not to eat up at least a bit of the King's

change 160 million people. (Who am I?)
