Hi, I had this idea a few weeks ago. Can you think of some joke that can be "adjusted" to finance? I will give 2 examples: ...........................................
Pinpoint partners were conducting a research on pay in the finance industry. They spoke to a BO employee of a BB and they asked him how much time he would have to save up to buy BMW. He said it would take him about 2 years.
Then, they spoke to a MO employee of a BB and they asked him the same question. The MO employee replied 6-9 months.
Finally, they got a hold of an S&T employee. Same question. How long until you can buy BMW? The S&T employee sat silent. Brought out a pen and a notepad. Wrote down some numbers. Thought about it for a second and said 3 years. Pinpoint couldn't believe it. They said: "How the !"%$ is this possible? It takes the BO guy 2 years??" The S&T guy said: "Well, BMW aren't a small company"
............................................................... As well all know, our beloved leader Lloyd Blankfein is about to retire and passed on the heavy crown to David Solomon (aka D-Sol).
Nowadays, Lloyd has more free time and D-Sol has to constantly travel and sit in meetings. Mrs D-Sol understands this but she can't help but feel lonely. One day, in the D-Sol Mansion, there were some difficulties with the Koi fish in the marble floor. Beyonce & Jay-Z claim the Solomon Family got the idea from them but it is unclear whether this is true. Anyways, on the same day the DJ had to travel again and he left the house early. Mrs D-Sol knew she had to call someone capable of fixing this. Who better than Mr. Blankfein?
Mr. Blankfein pulled up (skkrrt) and got to fixing. Turns out there was a piping problem. One thing lead to another and they ended up together in bed. Unfortunately, Mr. D-Sol had forgotten his Marshall's turntable and had to come back. The naughty couple saw D-sol pull up from the cameras and Lloyd quickly hid in the wardrobe.
D-Sol came to the master bedroom and saw his wife laying in bed, naked. He said: "Honey, why are you naked?" The wife was quick to respond: "I do not have any dresses!" D-Sol, furious, went to the huge wardrobe and replied: "What the "!$^ do you mean? I have bought you so many dresses! Look, 1 dress, 2 dresses, 3 dresses, 4 dresses, Hi Lloyd, 5 dresses, 6 dresses, 7 dresses"
don't judge me, today's a bank holiday and I have too much free time
This screams Reader's Digest
I don't get the second one at all!...!
TLDR
Totally unrelated. Is a company singular or plural. I think I've seen it both ways. BMW isn't a small company vs BMW aren't a small company.
