Favorite joke from "Reconfigurement"

Post by Marsha JJ »

In "Reconfigurement", the author lightens it up the financial and life planning content with lots of fun jokes throughout. My favorite was "Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." What was your favorite joke in the book?

Yes, I agree with you. My favorite joke is also "Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." I find it quite funny and interesting.

 "Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." This was my favorite joke. I really liked because of the wordplay.

I didn't have a specific favorite joke, but I loved his puns the most! They definitely helped lighten the seriousness of the material

My favorite joke was:
"I live in Minnesota where we have skyways and the Mall of America (MOA). By the way I've been to MOA once. As I like to say, 'once you've seen a shopping center, you've seen a mall.'"

It took me a minute to get it, but once I did I found it hilarious.

I'm enjoying the puns as well. They help a book about a somewhat boring topic actually be entertaining.

I'm a sucker for puns, so when the author said "Who handles the money in a monastery, that's nun of your business" I hollered. That was my favourite joke from Reconfigurement.

"Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." I wouldn't really call it a joke, but it's a very good pun. I chuckled when I saw this amidst all the serious information the book was serving.
You have a life to live. If you ain't living it, that's failure. :tiphat:
