A young man was thinking of moving into a new neighbourhood, and asked an old man living on a corner street what the people in the neighbourhood were like.

"What were the people like in the last place you lived?" Said the old man.

The man goes, "Oh they were all crooks, all rotten no good scoundrels, and you couldnt trust a single one"

"Well wouldnt you know, the people in this neighbourhood are exactly like that" said the old man. The younger man became grumpy, irritable, and left.

A couple days later another young man showed up, considering moving into the neighbourhood. He too spotted the old man on the porch of the old corner house, and asked him, "So, what are the people here like?"

The old man replied, "Well, what were the poeple in your old neighbourhood like?"

The man said, "Oh they were wonderful, caring, giving, loving souls with a great sense of community."

"The old man replied, "Well wouldnt you know. The people in this neighbourhood are exactly as you say"
