Two actors who haven't seen each other in several weeks run into each other on the street.
1st actor: Haven't seen you in a while. How's everything going?
2nd actor: Pretty good. Two weeks ago I got a call from a lawyer in Florida. It seems I had an aunt that I never knew about that died and left me $2,000,000.
#1: That's great!
#2: Yeah. And then last week I hit the lottery and won $7,000,000.
#1: Wow, that's wonderful!
#2: Yeah, but this week, nothing!
