Geek + finance = major geek

Working at a financial institution + listening to the Avenue Q soundtrack at work = a driving urge to insert a paragraph to all outgoing mutual fund prospectuses stating "In volatile market, only stable investment is porn."

"Porn futures rose sharply today, up 10 1/2 by the end of trading."

The stock exchange is really really great.

I'm going to have that song running through my head all day now. Thanks ever so--and happy happy new year!

Um, that was me. Apparently I wasn't logged in....

Happy New Year to you as well! And if it really gets stuck, you could always start singing "Bananaphone" to get rid of it. Of course, then you'd have "Bananaphone" stuck in your head.

...ring ring ring ring ring ring ring...

FOR PORN!

Unfortunately (?) for me, I've never heard "Bananaphone."

I've always meant to tell you, btw, that I love that icon.

[stealthmuffin.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I wish I could remember where I found it so I can credit the maker.

And Bananaphone is a Raffi song. The kind you'd hear ten times during a long car ride with a small child.

I used to work in the group pension department of an insurance company. I would have LOVED to see that on one of our prospectuses.

In the beneficiary section, one of the options was 'concubine'. I always wanted to select that one, just to see what the client would say when he saw it.

Wow. I should start writing "kept man" for my beneficiary. Or "cabana boy." Or "spare kidney" for the other beneficiary.
