[Joke] Financial Planning

[MotionMan]

A single guy was living at home with his rich but sickly father and working in the very successful family business. He lived a pretty ordinary life for being in such a rich family, but when he realized he was going to inherit a huge fortune when his father died, he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his fortune.

One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary guy," he said to her, "But in just a few years my father will die and I will inherit $200 million.” Appearing quite impressed, the woman asked for his business card .

Three days later, she became his stepmother.

Joke has potential, The punchline needs to be told differently.

Something like

A few weeks later he meets the same girl again and asks her to marry him. She replies, "no, I couldn't possible marry a guy like you" "Why not he says?" " Because I am your mother now!"

That's just as bad. How could he not know she married his father already?

Now that would make a good punchline

"I can't marry you, I will be on my honeymoon with your father!"😀

Hmmm

The underlying issue with this joke is that even if the dad dies it does not mean the father is going to change the will to let the new wife have everything.

This could only happen in a joke thread started by a lawyer.

Umm, it all goes to the wife regardless. She gets to decide because it is technically her money.

And I thought the joke was hilarious.

No, the bigger underlying issue with this joke is the completely implausible scenario of a rich bachelor thinking "Jesus, I'm about to inherit scads of money, I better find myself a wife who can take half of it rather than keep it all and have anonymous sex with hundreds of random women."

Ah good point.

No, if the person had a will that determines who gets all. The spouse only automatically gets all when there is no will.

Yea, had lot of potential but the end became too obvious and short.
