My Cardboard Balcony

Otto had the money to invest in the stock market, but Alan was hungry and wanted lobster tail - and only lobster tail - for the next two weeks. He kept trying to swipe Otto's dough, but Otto was quick and keen, and he knew exactly how much his best friend was pining for overly pricey seafood. So Otto locked the money up in a chest and delivered it to his uncle, Martin, who invested it in the comic book industry. Otto's rich now, and Alan is still hungry.
