Can someone explain this joke for me?
i don’t get this joke. Can someone explain it please:
A businessman was in a great deal of trouble. His business was failing; he had put everything he had into the business, he owed everybody it was so bad he was even contemplating suicide.
As a last resort he went to a priest and poured out his story of tears and woe.
When he had finished, the priest said, "Here’s what I want you to do: Put a beach chair and your Bible in your car and drive down to the beach. Take the beach chair and the Bible to the water’s edge, sit down in the beach chair, and put the Bible in your lap. Open the Bible; the wind will riffle the pages, but finally the open Bible will come to rest on a page. Look down at the page and read the first thing you see. That will be your answer, that will tell you what to do."
A year later the businessman went back to the priest and brought his wife and children with him. The man was in a new custom-tailored suit, his wife in a mink coat, the children shining. The businessman pulled an envelope stuffed with money out of his pocket, gave it to the priest as a donation in thanks for his advice. The priest recognized the benefactor, and was curious.
"You did as I suggested?" he asked.
"Absolutely," replied the businessman.
"You went to the beach?"
"Absolutely."
"You sat in a beach chair with the Bible in your lap?"
"Absolutely."
"You let the pages riffle until they stopped?"
"Absolutely."
"And what were the first words you saw?"
"Chapter 11."
How does claiming bankruptcy make you rich?
LMAO! That is AWESOME! He went bankrupt… started new. Hahaa.
(Edit: When you declare bankrupt, ALL (or at least most) of your debts are cleared. You won’t owe money anymore. So let’s say you make $50,000 a year at your job. But you’re paying on $32,000 in debt… When that debt is gone, you will have all your money back to do whatever you want with! (Mink coat, custom-tailored suit)
LOL that bad thing about going bankrupt, though, is you’ll have a VERY difficult time getting loans and stuff, because they think if you go bankrupt again they won’t get their money.
Also, it doesn’t work if you’re paying money from being sued or child support and stuff.
But yeah, that’s why he was rich. LOL)
Chapter 11 is a form of bankruptsky
