have you guys heard of the salmon brothers?

i just read an interesting book about them. apparently, they were involved in alot of fishy deals. they managed to reel in a bunch of investors who fell for them hook, line, and sinker. at the end of the day they got caught and gutted the firm and laid off a bunch of people who were like fish out of water. the big fish at the top were laughing to themselves the whole time because it was like shooting fish in a barrel.

Your fish jokes would have been slightly funnier if that was the way the company was spelled.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

BRO...i know what a salmon is...i know what the joke is..i guess i have a horrible sense of humor cause i didn't find it funny

Salmon Brothers was a symbol of a bygone era, kind of like Lemon Brothers whom they combo'd with frequently. Too bad the failure of Lemon Bros left such a sour taste in everyone mouth. Life handed Obama and Bernanke Lemon Brothers, but they just couldn't make lemonade out of the situation.

nice, i think i'm going to incorporate this into my joke.

 
arguewithatreeLOL can't decide whats funnier - the joke or the fact that no one got the pun.
Huh? I think people got the joke. His lack of alliteration and incessant use of "fish" towards the end killed whatever potential the troll post had.
