Remorse as a comic warning on finance and fate
A humorous piece by Howard L. Rann contrasts remorse with late money losses in banking and theft. It riffs on clerks, postal agents, and safe crackers, noting remorse strikes when a till is short and money cannot be recovered. It mocks reformers and investors, ending with a quip about a housekeeper and a dude wardens.
