Reminded anecdote:

Bobruisk. Personnel weighted plant:
  - Hello, I'm a tinsmith, I want to work for you.
  - Write a statement.
  - But I do not know how to write, I am illiterate.
  - Then I'm sorry, we can not accept you.
A few years later. St. Petersburg. The respectable gentleman walking along the Nevsky Prospect with a chic lady. On the way they come across jewelry store. Come.
  - Dear, I have long dreamed of such a necklace with emeralds!
  - Well, what else do you like it here?
  - Here are the earrings and kulonchik.
  - Pack, please, all of this. How many of me?
  - Two million three hundred and fifteen thousand!
  Mr. calculated with the seller, pulling from his briefcase a lot of money.
  The seller is perplexed:
  - Why do you carry with you such a huge amount of cash? It is much easier to write a check, is not it?
  - Oh, if I knew how to write, I'd still be working tinsmith in Bobruisk.
