What do you get if you clone the vice president half a dozen times?
Sixpence
Joke from a 1920s Australian Newspaper
**Diplomacy**
Uncle to nephew playing a game of War with a companion: "If you take the fortress within a quarter of an hour, I'll give you a sixpence."
Youngster (a minute later): "Uncle, sixpence please, the fortress is taken."
Uncle: "How did you manage it so quickly?"
...
A wealthy gentleman began to chat with a poor woman on the streets of 17th century London
He asked how many children she had.
“Six,” she answered.
“Here is a sixpence for them,” he responded, handing her a coin.
“No, sir,” she said proudly, “I will not sell my children.”
