Ok since someone went there... i have a joke!!

Medical competition

An Israeli doctor says, "Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him looking for work in six weeks."

A German doctor says, "That is nothing; we can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him looking for work in four weeks."

A Russian doctor says, "In my country, medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have them both looking for work in two weeks."

The Texas doctor, not to be outdone, says, "You guys are way behind, we recently took a man with no brains out of Texas, put him in the White House for eight years, and now half the country is looking for work."

Not sure if people actually realize how much money that is [this guy certainly didn't].

1 million X 1000 = 1 billion
360 billion = 1 million X 360,000.

I have to admit, numbers usually get incomprehensible around the trillion dollar mark for me, as in, it's just too much to understand. But when you put it like that, it's ridiculous.

Buddy would've been happy if they'd cashed it for $3600, I'd bet, let alone one hundred million times that.

Not to mention $9 trillion in debt and wars all over.

You don't have to work for a bank to know that they don't carry over 1/3 of a trillion dollars

Duh! Most banking corporations are not even worth that much altogether, much less one single brick & mortar bank.

And that is WHY he is world-famous.

He expected to walk into a bank to cash a $360B check? I'm still laughing after the 100th time of thinking about it.
