I have a pizzeria. This pizzeria was very famous and everyone wanted to eat there. I also like to feed people, or should I say to feed people who can afford to pay upfront bill.  Now I’m a man of principles. I tell everyone that I have my rules and obviously I’ll not allow anyone  to break them.

One day in 1948, a very humble ascetic passed by my store. He did not demand anything but I know I should have given him a pizza. My staff knew I should give him a pizza, my customers knew  I should give him a pizza, My wife knew  I should give him a pizza and my pet goldfish also knew  that I should give him a pizza.  But I’m a man of principles, so I wont give him anything. Just as Governor Swazzenegar  said in that iconic movie of all times’ Terminator -1,2,3′, I also proclaim, “talk to the hand”. So beat it. I’m a man of principles after all

Then one day in 2009,Mr XYZ who is 100 lbs overweight , passes by my shop.   He says, “Yo chum, can I have a pizza for free?” I immediately know that I have to give this poor scraggy man something to eat, or otherwise he risks being overweight by ony 99.5 lbs. So I give him some Pizza, a pepsi and 6 pieces of garlic bread for free. My Staff is surprised, My customers are upset, my wife says she’ll divorce me and my goldfish commits suicide. But I justify it all saying, ” you know, this man holds great future”

I think it was the day when people lost any trace of faith in my pizzeria and now I’m bankrupt. The flame has somehow vanished. A certain Mr Gorbachev and Mr Kissenger had already stolen some of the fuel, but this time its just dead.

Would you like to buy my Pizzeria ? Its located in Norway ( and Sweden ) . It is about a century old and is called ” The Nobel Prize, Inc” . It has great support lines from one Federal Bank, USA. And you can buy it at any price you want….. Because frankly, no one cares a $hit about it now.

“Some people say — and I understand it — ‘Isn’t it premature? Too early?’ Well, I’d say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now.It is now that we have the opportunity to respond — all of us”  …..    Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told the Associated press
