J. Maarten Troost Quotes

Fortunately, Due To A Terrible Misunderstanding, I Soon Found Myself Working As A Consultant To The World Bank. I Am Not Exactly Sure What It Was That Led The World Bank To Believe I Had Any Expertise In Infrastructure Finance. I Had Never Even Balanced A Checkbook. I Hadn't Even Tried. There Is Not Much Reason To Balance A Checkbook When Your Checking Account Rarely Tops The Three-figure Mark. And So, To The Third World Countries Who Had The Misfortune Of Working With Me On Their Infrastructure Projects, I Wish To Apologize.
