Milton Friedman and Doubtful Authenticity

Since registering a domain name with the goal of making a profit, I've been wondering if my investment will pay off, and it reminded me of a funny anecdote I once read about Milton Friedman regarding doubtful authenticity:

    One Saturday afternoon in downtown Chicago, Milton Friedman, the famous free-market economist, was shopping with his wife.

    "Look Milton!" exclaimed Mrs. Friedman. "There's a $20 bill on the sidewalk!"

    "Don't be foolish, my dear," replied the Nobel laureate. "If that was a $20 bill, someone would have picked it up by now."

If there is money to be made on AdvocateBlog.com, wouldn't the experts in the business already have registered that domain name? We'll see what happens.
