I hope life isn't a big joke ... because I don't get it.

Around 4 years since we last had this one...

A man is out shopping and discovers a new brand of Olympic condoms.
Clearly impressed, he buys a pack and upon getting home he announces to
his wife the purchase he just made.

"Olympic condoms?", she blurts, "What makes them so special?"

"There are three colours", he replies, "Gold, Silver and Bronze."

"What colour are you going to wear tonight?", she asks cheekily.

"Gold of course", says the man proudly.

The wife responds, "Really, why don't you wear Silver: it would be nice
if you came second for a change".

A man enters a restaurant and while sitting at his table, notices a
gorgeous woman sitting at another table, alone. He calls the waiter
over and asks for the most expensive bottle of champagne to be sent
over to her-knowing that if she accepts it, she is his.

The waiter gets the bottle and quickly sends it over to the girl, saying
this is from the gentleman. She looks at the champagne and decides to
send a note with the bottle back over to the man.

The note read: "For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a
Mercedes in your garage, $1M in the bank, and 7 inches in your pants."

The man, after reading this note, sends one of his own back to her and
it read: "Just so you know-I happen to have TWO Mercedes in my garage,
I have over $2M in the bank, but not even for YOU, would I cut off 2
inches! Send the bottle back."

There was a great loss recently in the entertainment
world.

Larry LaPrise, the Detroit native who wrote the song
Hokey Kokey, died last week at 83.

It was especially difficult for the family to get him
in the casket.

They'd put his left leg in and....well, things just
started going downhill from there.

Here are some of the most witty things ever said about money:

'I'd be a bum on the street with a tin cup if the markets were efficient.....Investing in a market where people believe in efficiency is like playing bridge with someone who has been told it doesn't do any good to look at the cards'.

Warren Buffett

'Conventional wisdom results in conventional results'.

Mario Gabelli

'We have embraced the 21st Century by entering such cutting-edge industries as brick, carpet, insulation and paint. Try to control your excitement'.

Warren Buffett

'You must never confuse genius with a bull market'.

Nick Leslau

'I made my money by selling too soon'.

Bernard Baruch

'Trading has been, and always will be, a hard way to make an easy living'.

Jeffrey Silverman

'There are old traders around and bold traders around, but there are no old, bond traders around'.

Thomas Huxley

'When someone says 'it's not about money', it's about money'.

H.L.Mencken

'Long periods of prosperity usually end in scandal'.

George Taucher

'Goldman Sachs. Sounds like some kind of brothel, but I'm assured it's not'.

Stephen Fry

'An economist is someone who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today'.

Lawrence J Peter

'I think a lot of people initially thought that the 'e' in e-business was more important than the business'.

Michael Dell

'The meek shall inherit the earth, but not the mineral rights'.

J.Paul Getty

'The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary'.

Vidal Sassoon

'They say I wasted my money. I say 90% went on women, fast cars and booze. It was the rest I wasted'.

George Best

My favourite from Buffett:

"If you've been playing poker for half an hour and you still don't know who the patsy is, you're the patsy." --Warren Buffett

Never Argue with a Woman

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.

Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?"
"Reading a book," she replies, (thinking, "Isn't that obvious?")
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading"
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"For reading a book," she replies,
"You're in a Restricted Fishing Area," he informs her again,
"I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading"
"Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."
"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with $e^ual assault," says the woman.
"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.
"That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment."
"Have a nice day ma'am," and he left.

The Seven Most Important Men in a Woman's Life
1. The Doctor - who tells her to "take off all her clothes."

2. The Dentist - who tells her to "open wide."

3. The Milkman - who asks her "do you want it in the front or the back?"

4. The Hairdresser - who asks her "do you want it teased or blown?"

5. The Interior Designer - who assures her "once it's inside, you'll LOVE
it!"

6. The Banker - who insists to her "if you take it out too soon, you'll
lose interest!"

7. The Primal Hunter - who always goes deep into the bush, always shoots
twice, always eats what he shoots, but keeps telling her "Keep quiet and
lie still!"
