Wow.... That's got to be the [b]lamest[/b] thing amongst all things [i]supposed[/i] to be funny I've ever come across. Hell... that's worse than those "funny" Bloomberg editorials! Cry

Edit: Add "If you write a stupid one page joke and nobody laughs.... you might be a cunt." to the list.

Some nine years ago I and a colleague walked into a City gym and found ourselves staring at a poster “Improve your ABS!” reaction from my colleague “Wow! They are advertising Asset Backed Securities in gyms now days.”

Let's make up our own lame ones!

"If a girl invites you back to her apartment for some heavy necking, and you instantly think think of kurtosis, you might be a qunt."

"If you notice that there is a Delta airlines, but you wonder why there isn't a Gamma or Vega airlines, you might be a qunt."

"If you insist on calling a Levy process a Bachelier process, you might be a phrench qunt."
