Gambling Joke

Recommended Posts

The IRS decides to audit Ralph, and summons him to the IRS office.

 

 

The IRS auditor is not surprised when Ralph shows up with his attorney.

 

 

The auditor says, 'Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no

 

full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money

 

gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a great gambler, and I can prove it,' says Ralph. 'How about a

 

demonstration?'

 

The auditor thinks for a moment and said, 'Okay. Go ahead.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ralph says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.'

 

The auditor thinks a moment and says, 'It's a bet.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ralph removes his glass eye and bites it.

 

The auditor's jaw drops.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ralph says, 'Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my

 

other eye.'

 

Now the auditor can tell Ralph isn't blind, so he takes the bet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ralph removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

 

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Ralph's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Want to go double or nothing?' Ralph asks 'I'll bet you six thousand

 

dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that

 

wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and

 

decides there's no way this guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he

 

agrees again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ralph stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other

 

side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's desk.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss

 

into a huge win.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But Ralph's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

 

'Are you okay?' the auditor asks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Not really,' says the attorney. 'This morning, when Ralph told me he'd

 

been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and piss all over your desk and that you'd be happy

 

about it.'

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
