A guy who was frequently prone
to gain cash that others had blown
rubber-bands, with a yawn.

(Non-Rhyming Side Note: I changed the final line because I have always wanted to rhyme in Spanish and this seemed a great time to try it. The translation is, roughly, "This makes me foolish?" or "This makes a fool out of me?")

ReplyDeleteI didn't understand the joke until I clicked on the link. Wow. That is a lot of rubber bands. I wonder how much each band holds?
ReplyDelete@voiceoftruelove - thanks! I think the joke is being missed without the news article to explain...
ReplyDelete@Mari - Thank you! :)
@CheesyDoug - I think he must have been wrapping small stacks. :)
