Joke Du Jour

The lady wrote: For a while my husband and I had opposite schedules. He worked during the day, and I worked at night. One morning I noticed he had left a note to himself on the kitchen counter that read, "STAMPS!" As a helpful surprise, I bought him some at the post office and put them on the counter before going to work. The next morning I found the same note. "STAMPS!" was crossed out. Underneath it he had written, "ONE MILLION DOLLARS!"

Blackburne & Sons' Hard Money Rates Are Plunging!

Blackburne & Sons is a nationwide hard money commercial lender. Unfortunately our new loan originations for the past two months have plunged. Borrowers are afraid of the future, so they are paying down debt, rather than taking on more of it. We have therefore just slashed our interest rates by 2% across the board.

We are looking for permanent loans, up to $1.5 million, on standing commercial buildings. Sorry, but we do not make land loans, land development loans, or construction loans. Our permnant loans have a term of 15 years, and our points are low. There is no prepayment penalty, so our loans also work as bridge loans.

Stressed Out?

Picture yourself near a stream. Birds are softly chirping in the crisp cool mountain air. Nothing can bother you here. No one knows this secret place. You are in total seclusion from that place called "the world." The soothing sound of a gentle waterfall fills the air with a cascade of serenity. The water is clear and you can easily make out the face of the person whose head you're holding under the water. Look. It's the person who caused you all this stress. What a pleasant surprise. You let them up... just for a quick breath... then plop!... back under they go... You allow yourself as many deep breaths as you want. There now... feeling better?

Increase Your Marketing Effectiveness By a Factor of 400

If you are a commercial mortgage broker or a commercial lender, you can supercharge your volume of new commercial loans by using marketing leverage.

Just imagine that you had a magic machine that multiplied every one of your marketing dollars by 400. For example, if you had just $100 to spend on marketing for commercial loans, this magic machine would suddenly turn that $100 marketing budget into a $4,000 marketing budget. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

Such a magic machine actually exists. Read more.

Manicure Joke

My friend was at the beauty parlor when she overheard another woman rattle on to the manicurist about the sad state of her marriage. "Things have gotten so bad," she said, "I think I might ask for a divorce. What do you think?" "That's a serious matter," came the reply. "I think you should consult another manicurist."

Final Funny (PG-13)

A fishing boat ran into trouble last week about 100 miles off shore. Despite the efforts of everyone aboard, the boat was lost. The people were left floating in their life vests.

Two sharks were assigned to the case, a father and his son. As they approached the people, the father told his son to stop a moment for instructions. He said, "Son, we need to go about this in a methodical way. First, we circle the people with just the tip of our dorsal fins showing." The son replies, "Uh, huh. And then?"

"And then, we circle again, but this time with half of our dorsal fins showing." "Okay. Then what?" "Then, we circle a last time, with our dorsal fins fully out of the water and displaying our sharp teeth and huge mouths."

The son asks, "But Dad, wouldn't it be easier to just go straight in and eat them all up?" "No, son. Trust me on this. They taste much better with all the poop scared out of them."
