Money Joke: Boy Snubs President's Kindness

A little boy wanted $100 badly and prayed for two weeks but nothing happened. Then he decided to write a letter to the Lord requesting the $100.

When the postal authorities received the letter addressed to the Lord, USA, they decided to send it to President Obama.

The President was so impressed, touched, and amused that he instructed his secretary to send the little boy a $5.00 bill, as this would appear to be a lot of money to a little boy.

The little boy was delighted with the $5.00, and sat down to write a thank-you note to the Lord.

It said: Dear Lord, Thank you very much for sending me the money. However, I noticed that for some reason you had to send it through Washington, DC and as usual, those jerks deducted $95.

Money Joke: Charity From An Investment Banker

One afternoon, an investment banker was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you," the banker said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along," the banker replied.

Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, also."

The second man, in a pitiful voice, then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!

"Bring them all, as well," the banker answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned to the banker and said, "Sir, you are too kind."

"Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The banker replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my place. The grass is almost a foot high."

A Lesson On Supply And Demand

Calvin and Hobbes teach us a lesson on supply and demand. This is a good illustration of the abhorrent behavior of business owners, especially the fat cats on Wall Street.

They have various justifications for charging high prices for their goods and services and extracting hefty compensation packages. If you criticize them, you are labelled as anti-business, and other derogatory comments.

That is the way things work in the American model of capitalism works. The suckers are always the tireless taxpayers.

One Share of Citibank

Source: MoneyFeature Blogs

I am glad that a sorry buck can still buy so many things, what with all the inflation going on over the past thirty years.

Anyway, I am not interested in buying one share of Citibank (one of the nation's mightiest financial institutions but how it has fallen from grace), even if I happen to have some dollars to spare.

There is every possibility of the share going to zero, either from a government nationalization or the shortists bringing the bank to its knees.
