JOKE 1. A young college student came running in tears to her father in the kitchen.
“Dad, you gave me some terrible financial advice!”
“I did? What did I tell you?” asked the dad.
“You told me to put my money in that big bank, and now that big bank is in trouble.”
“What are you talking about? That’s one of the largest banks in the state!” he said. “There must be some mistake.”
“I don’t think so,” she said. “They just returned one of my checks with a note saying ‘Insufficient Funds’.”

JOKE 2. A little boy named Johnny used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn’t know what Johnny’s problem was, but the older boys would constantly make fun of him, saying that he was too stupid and dumb. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between a 5-cent coin (nickel) and a 10-cent coin (dime) and he would always take the 5-cent coin! One day the store owner took Johnny aside and said. “Hey, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don’t know the difference between a nickel and a dime. Do you take the 5-cent coin because it’s bigger, or what!” Slowly, Johnny looked at the store owner with a big smile on his face… Then he said, “Mr. Baxter, If I took the dime, they would stop offering me their money, and so far I have saved $20!”
