Behind Your Ear

From Cyanide & Happiness

Working at the Job Centre has to be a tense job

- knowing that if you get fired, you still have to come in the next day.

Banking App


It's okay, they scan the serial numbers and make sure you can't deposit the same note more than once.

From xkcd

I walked out of Tesco yesterday and saw a woman crying her eyes out saying she'd lost all her holiday money.

I felt so bad for her that I gave her £50.

I don't usually do things like that but I was feeling generous as I'd just found 2 grand in the car park....

I'm seriously thinking out remarrying my ex-wife;

but I'm pretty sure she'll figure out I'm just after my money.

The Cost Of Beer

Woman:
Do you drink beer?

Man:
Yes

Woman:
How many beers a day?

Man:
Usually about 3

Woman:
How much do you pay per beer?

Man:
$5.00 which includes a tip

(This is where it gets scary !)

Woman:
And how long have you been drinking?

Man:
About 20 years, I suppose

Woman:
So a beer costs $5 and you have 3 beers a day which puts your spending each month at $450.
In one year, it would be approximately $5400 correct?

Man:
Correct

Woman:
If in 1 year you spend $5400, not accounting for inflation, the past 20 years puts your spending at $108,000, correct?

Man:
Correct

Woman:
Do you know that if you didn't drink so much beer, that money could have been put in a step-up interest savings account and after accounting for compound interest for the past 20 years, you could have now bought a Ferrari?

Man:
Do you drink beer?

Woman:
No

Man:
Where's your Ferrari then?
