A More Lucrative Offer

The bank loan officer groaned when he saw the man who came in Friday asking for a $350,440,020 bank loan to win the lottery. This time two other guys came in with him. The loan officer said, “I must say no once again.” The man said, “I have two friends from a family business who may change your mind”. One of the other men said “Greetings sir my name is Guido Marconi and this is my friend Luciano Marconi who can benchpress 800 pounds and we are very interested in our client here winning the lottery. No Luciano show this good man what you can do with this steel rod replica of someone’s leg.” Luciano cracked it in half like it was a popsycle stick. Marconi then said “My client said you stated that if more than one person won they would lose money. Well we propose to you that with the jackpot at 1.5 billion that’s less likely to happen isn’t it?” The loan officer was becoming quickly convinced that maybe he ought to say yes but he asked how they were going to handle so many tickets which Guido said wouldn’t be a problem. So he stamped an approval on the loan and went back to the bathroom to change his pants. and wash his hands very well.
