Joke #1: Japan Banks Following the problems in the subprime lending market in America, uncertainty has now hit Japan. In the last 7 days, Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches. Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song while shares in Kamikaze Bank today were suspended after they nose-dived. While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black. Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.

Trouble is, mine only knows one word — Goodbye. Joke #4: Nigerian Scam Dear American: I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude. I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has had crisis that has caused the need for large transfer of funds of 800 billion dollars US. If you would assist me in this transfer, it would be most profitable to you. This is a matter of great urgency. We need a blank check. We need the funds as quickly as possible. We cannot directly transfer these funds in the names of our close friends because we are constantly under surveillance. My family lawyer advised me that I should look for a reliable and trustworthy person who will act as a next of kin so the funds can be transferred. Please reply with all of your bank account, IRA and college fund account numbers and those of your children and grandchildren to wallstreetbailout@treasury.gov so that we may transfer your commission for this transaction. After I receive that information, I will respond with detailed information about safeguards that will be used to protect the funds. Yours Faithfully, Minister of Treasury Henry M.

A man, who loved money more than just about anything, said just before he died to his wife, "Now listen. When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the afterlife with me. When he died she did what she had promised, came over with the money box and put it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and rolled it away. So her friend said, “Girl, I know you weren’t fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband!” She said, "Listen, I’m a Christian. I can’t go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him. "You mean to tell me you really put that money in the casket with him??? “I sure did,” said the wife. “I wrote him a check.”
A student once feel asleep in Milton Friedman’s class. Friedman, perturbed, awoke the student and called upon to answer the question he had just asked. The student replied “Well I didn’t hear the question, but the ansser is ‘raise the money supply’”.

A mathematician and a stock broker go to the races to bet on horses. The broker suggests a bet of $10,000. That’s too much for the mathematician’s taste: First, he wants to understand the rules, have a look at the horses, etc. “Don’t worry”, the broker says. “I know an empirical algorithm that allows me to find the number of the winning horse with absolute certainty.” This does not convince the mathematician. “You are too theoretical!” the broker exclaims and puts his $10,000 on a horse. The horse comes in first - making the broker even richer than he already is. The mathematician is baffled. “What is your algorithm?” he wants to know. “It’s rather easy. I have two children, three and five years old. I add up their ages and bet on that number.” “But three plus five is eight - and that horse had number nine!” “I told you that you’re too theoretical! Didn’t I just experimentally prove that my calculation is correct?!”
