Investing and Passover Jokes

So, I can't help but feel there are some good opportunities in investing right now. Opportunities to make a lot of money, but also opportunities to fuck up and lose even more. My boss pointed me to this guy with a fair amount of money who writes a daily article that has a little insight, but a lot of humor. I'm going to copy this passover joke straight off of his site, (http://technologyinvestor.com/) I might add this to my morning routine of checking the headlines and Dilbert.

Today is the first day of Jewish Passover. Part 1.
An elderly man in Miami calls his son in New York and says, "I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing. Forty-five years of misery is enough."

"Pop, what are you talking about?" the son screams.

"We can't stand the sight of each other any longer," the old man says. "We're sick of each other, and I'm sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Chicago and tell her." And he hangs up.

Frantic, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone, "Like heck they're getting divorced," she shouts, "I'll take care of this."

She calls her father immediately and screams at him, "You are not getting divorced! Don't do a single thing until I get there. I'm calling my brother back, and we'll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don't do a thing. Do You Hear Me?" And she hangs up.

The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife. "Okay," he says," They're both coming for Passover and paying their own airfares.
