Here are five jokes the editorial team at International Adviser has heard over the summer. There are a few more, which we can’t really share, and we may put out another instalment later this year.
In the meantime, enjoy and do use the comment box below to add your suggestions (only ‘decent’ ones will be published…)
A Polish immigrant in New York is getting an eye exam.
The optician shows him a card with the letters:
C Z W I X N O S T A C Z
Optician: "Can you read this?"
Pole: "Read it? I know the guy."
The people in Dubai, they don’t like the Flintstones. Really, they just don’t.
However, the people in Abu Dhabi do!
A man in Dubai goes to his financial adviser, and says: “I’d like to start a small business. How do I go about it?”
Simple, the adviser tells him.
“Buy a big business, and wait.”
An Englishman, a Scotsman, an Irishman, a Latvian, a Turk, an Aussie, a Yank, an Egyptian, a Japanese, a Mexican, a Spaniard and a Swiss man are waiting in a queue to get into a trendy nightclub in Singapore. Finally, it’s their turn. But the bouncer says: “sorry, I can’t let you in without a Thai.”
Joke told by women financial advisers in Spain:
Bob was a single guy, living at his father’s villa on the Costa del Sol and working in the family’s banking, hotels and resort businesses.
When he found out he was in line to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share it.
One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her beauty took his breath away.
"I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "but in just a few years, my father will die and I will inherit €200 million."
Impressed, the woman asked for his business card. Three days later, she became his stepmother.
Women are so much better at financial planning than men.
