Money and Business Limericks
There once was a boy named John
Who owned a fifty-dollar bond
He felt so lucky
He bought a BIG rubber ducky
And now his money is all gone
A greasy old wino named Ray
gave the dollar “Lotto” a play.
Son of a bitch!
The bum struck it rich
and now he swills Mouton-Cadet!
Arkansas Watermelon Businessmen
Two Arkansas farmers bought a truckload of watermelons, paying one dollar apiece for them. Then they drove to the market and sold all their melons for the SAME price ($1) they’d paid for them. After counting their money at the end of the day, they realize they’d ended up with no more money than they’d started with.
“See!” said one. “I told you we shoulda got a bigger truck.”
