Question

Is money a funny matter?

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’.”

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!”

3. The teenage son was having trouble managing his new checking account. His mother told him that the bank returned the check he had written to the sporting goods store. To which he replied happily, “Oh, great! Now I can use it to buy some stereo equipment for my bedroom here!”

4. Mother decided that 10-years-old Cathy should get a more “practical” gift for her birthday. She woke her up and said, “Suppose we open a saving account for you.” Cathy was delighted. “It’s your account darling.” Mother said as they arrived at the bank, “so you fill out the application.” Cathy was doing fine until she came to the space Name of your former bank. After some hesitation, she put down ”Piggy.”
