Joke Du Jour
A man shows up to a Halloween party with his girlfriend hanging on his back. The host asks him what the deal with that is. The man explains, "This is my costume. I'm a snail." The host then asks, "A snail? How is a lady hanging on your back a snail costume?" The man then says, "She's Michelle."

Crab Legs Joke
A haughty lawyer boarded an airplane in New Orleans with a box of frozen crabs and asked a blonde flight attendant to take care of them for him. She took the box and promised to put it in the crew’s refrigerator. He advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for them staying frozen, mentioning in an arrogant manner that he was a lawyer, and threatened what would happen to her if she let them thaw out. Shortly before landing in New York, she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, "Would the lawyer who gave me the crabs in New Orleans, please raise your hand?" Not one hand went up, so she took them home and ate them.

Elephant and the Turtle Joke
An elephant was drinking out of a river one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. He ambled over to the turtle and kicked it clear across the river. "What did you do that for?" asked a passing giraffe. "Because I recognized it as the same turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago." "Wow, what a memory" commented the giraffe. "Yes," said the elephant, "turtle recall".

Why You Should Broker Construction Loans
My own private money commercial mortgage company, Blackburne & Sons, does NOT make construction loans; however, you can easily place your commercial construction loan request using C-Loans.com. Here's why you should want to start brokering commercial construction loans:
- There has been very little new construction for 8 years.
- The banks are flush with cash, and they love-love-love to make construction loans.
- Commercial construction loans are large. A one-point loan brokerage fee on a $3.5 million loan is a whopping $35,000.
- They are easy to place if you use C-Loans.com
Do you need to place a commercial real estate loan of any size or type? You definitely should enter the deal into C-Loans.com. It's free! And remember, C-Loans has closed over 1,000 commercial real estate loans totaling over $1 billion.
Godfather Joke
Q: What do you get when you cross the Godfather with a lawyer?
A: An offer you can't understand.
Preferred Equity "Loans"
Do you really understand preferred equity? This free whitepaper will help you to truly understand it. It's written in easy-to-understand layman's language.
You'll use preferred equity in three common scenarios. (1) You have an investor buying a non-owner-user commercial-investment property. The bank refuses to make a first mortgage larger than 60% LTV. The buyer only wants to put down 25%. We'll cover the gap. (2) Your client has a balloon payment coming due, but he can't qualify for a new first mortgage large enough to pay off the old first mortgage. We'll cover the gap. (3) Your client wants to buy out an impossible partner. We'll provide the capital to buy him out.

Milking Joke
A farmer was milking his cow. He was just starting to get a good rhythm going when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow's ear. The farmer didn't think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder.

Grizzly Joke
In light of the rising frequency of human - grizzly bear conflicts, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters, and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears while in the field. They advise that outdoorsmen wear noisy little bells on their clothing so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. They also advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for fresh signs of bear activity. Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and grizzly bear dung. Black bear dung is smaller and contains lots of berries and squirrel fur. Grizzly bear dung has little bells in it and smells like pepper.
Business Loans Not Secured By Real Estate
I'm talking here about unsecured business loans, equipment loans, leases, inventory loans, factoring, accounts receivable financing, asset-backed lines of credit, etc.
The reason you want to get into the business of brokering business loans is because such loans close in 10 to 14 days, NOT three months.
C-Loans.com is now offering business financing. Please click here if you are trying to pace a business loan not secured by real estate.
Spoon Joke
A patient tell his therapist, "I feel awful. I feel like a spoon all the time." The therapist replied, "Sit still and don't stir."

Two Judges Joke
Two judges from a small county happen to be stopped for speeding on the same day. They agree that there's no point in calling the state Supreme Court for a visiting judge; they'll just go ahead and hear each other's case. The next morning, one judge takes the bench, the other sits at counsel table. The first judge admits he's guilty, and the second judge suspends the fine and court costs for him. They then switch places, the second judge pleads guilty as well, but the other judge fines him $200 plus all court costs. The second judge is exceedingly upset. "I suspended your fine and costs, and you go and give me the maximum!" The first judge responds: "Well, look at the increase we've just had for this crime. SOMEBODY has to do something about it!!"

Final Funny (PG-13)
A fifteen year-old boy came home with a Porsche, and his parents began to scream, "Where did you get that car???!!!" He calmly told them, "I bought it today." "With what money?" demanded his parents. "We know what a Porsche costs." "Well," said the boy, "this one cost me fifteen dollars." So the parents began to yell even louder. "Who would sell a car like that for fifteen dollars?" they said. "It was the lady up the street," said the boy." I don't know her name. They just moved in. She saw me ride past on my bike and asked me if I wanted to buy a Porsche for fifteen dollars." "Oh no," moaned the mother, "she must be a child abuser. Who knows what she will do next? John, you go up there right now and see what's going on." So the boy's father walked up the street to the house where the lady lived and found her out in the yard calmly planting petunias. He introduced himself as the father of the boy to whom she had sold a Porsche for fifteen dollars and demanded to know why she did it. "Well," she said, "this morning I got a phone call from my husband. I thought he was on a business trip, but it seems he has run off to Hawaii with his secretary and doesn't intend to come back. He asked me to sell his new Porsche and send him the money. So I did."
