Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business. At first I didn’t get the joke but then I read it again and understood. Hilarious!

At the beginning I laughed at this joke - "We can't pick up a newspaper - yes, baby boomers still do that! or go online (hey, we are not dead!) without being reminded of this fact.''

It's honestly a very funny joke

I didn't have a favorite joke in this book, but the humor was excellent.

"Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." I still chuckle when I remember this one. Totally did not see it coming when I was reading.

My favorite joke was, 'How does the Vatican want you to send charitable donations? Paypal! I laughed hard at that.

Two financial advisors are in a bank when armed robbers burst in. While one of the robbers takes money from the tellers, the other robber proceeds to take wallets, cell phones, and other valuables from customers. In the midst of the chaos, the first advisor slides something into the second advisor’s hand. Without looking down, the second advisor says “what is that”, the first advisor grins and replies- that’s the hundred dollars I still owe you.

It still cracks my ribs

The nun joke was definitely one of the best ones in the book. The regular use of jokes and puns throughout the book really made the book a fun and easy read.

That was a really funny joke

Not sure if it's a joke but when he said "...excuse my french! We all hate taxes right!" I found that funny because yes indeed, we all hate taxes lol

all the jokes were so good. the puns and dad jokes kept me from getting bored with the subject. my favorite one was- "after I spoke with my financial advisor, I slept like a baby. I woke up every hour and cried!" kind of self deprecating but so funny.

My favorite joke from Reconfigurement was " Two small mosquitos ventured out of the woods and killed a black Bear. The youngest of the mosquitos said to the other," Let's drag him back into the woods." "No way", said the other mosquito. The big mosquitos will take him away from us and suck him dry."

Some of the jokes are corny but I appreciate the effort.

At the end of chapter 3, there's a little joke:
"After many years of trying to find steady work, I finally got a job as a historian, only to realize there was no future in it"
I love a good, well-placed dad joke.
