Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy Jokes, Gags and Puns; for Arizona, and Everywhere Else!

By Joseph McDaniel, Esq.

It's a total pain in the behind and it has few redeeming qualities; it's only better than one thing.

Actually paying the overwhelming debt.

Now, that's not a bankruptcy joke. That's just the truth. And I wish bankruptcy had less shame, humiliation, fear, and anxiety built into it.

So I went looking for bankruptcy jokes on the internet, and I found a site published by Morgan King with some bankruptcy jokes.

Here's the one I liked best:

One day, the Pastor sees Matthew walking slowly out of Church. Matthew is dejected, disheveled and looks terrible.

"Matthew," asked the Pastor, "what's the matter?"

"Well, Pastor, my business is shot, I'm losing my house and my wife says she is going to leave me and take the kids if I don't straighten things out. I just don't know what to do."

"Matthew, find the answer in the Bible," the Pastor replied. And Matthew left.

Four months later, the Pastor sees Matthew coming out of Church, only this time, he's wearing an Armani suit, a nice cap and lighting a big old cigar.

"Matthew, you look great! Did you follow my advice?"

"I did. I went home that day and decided to open the Bible and to follow the advice I saw. So I opened the Bible and the first phrase I saw said:

Matthew Chapter 11."

Now, we know that this is a joke, because bankruptcy can make some debt go away with the bankruptcy discharge; but it can't generate wealth, because that's the job of the entrepreneur in our economy, here in Arizona and elsewhere.

I can help make the debt go away; if I could do that thing with the loaves and fishes, that would be much better.

But we all do what we can with the gifts we were given.

And what I can do is find more bankruptcy jokes on the Internet, and post 'em here for the enlightenment and entertainment of my friends and bankruptcy clients.
