    A stock broker, suffering a nervous breakdown from the Wall Street crash, was taken to a hospital to rest. While more or less in a daze, he overheard his nurse say to the doctor, "Temperature today, 102." Weakly the broker raised his head and said, "When it reaches 102 and a half. SELL !!"

    On her wedding night a bride will only let her husband consummate the marriage if he gives her a dollar.

    She makes three dollars that night and from then on the husband knows it will cost him a dollar a time.

    They celebrate their golden anniversary and she says;

    "Hymie for my wedding gift to you here is the deed to our house all paid off, here are the papers for our brand new Mercedes car, here is the deed for our new holiday house at Noosa".
    Husband says
    "but Goldie where did you get all this money from for these things."

    She says.
    "You know all those times when you wanted to do it and I made you pay a dollar.
    Well I took those dollars and I brought gold everytime with those dollars and now we have all this money to spend."

    Hymie starts crying.

    "Don't be so sad Hymie", she says "this is a good thing."

    "I know" says Hymie, "but I wish you had told me."

    "I would have given you ALL my business."

    It's good to see that this article was not really taken serious. The BILD is the symbol for polemics and a constant source for ridiculous stories and headlines. Amusing, to some extent - despite their considerable political influence... :|

    However, a pun for the German folks here, with another allusion:

    Die Griechen haben das Geld der ersten beiden Rettungspakete schon verbraucht, aber vielleicht werden sie ja durch ihr drittes reich... :D

    Silber, of course Bild is bollocks, but issue they raise is legitimate. The gold is, to my knowledge, not openly audited, and therefore there is no way of knowing what's there. Or was Hugo Chavez just sufferng from paranoia when he repatriated a bunch of their gold. Plenty of silverstakeers wouldn't trust their own family with their stash ;)

    Silber,perhaps a Drittes economic Reich wouldn't be such a bad thing for the Eurozone at the moment.
    I would trust the Germans to take charge and sort out the Euro economic mess over the American govt taking charge of the world any day.
    Theres some good humour here without malice or vitriol or racism.
    I am 44 and have seen Humour take the power out of Racism and cut like surgical steel thru deep entrenched opinions where hours of arguing have not.
    I remember the 'Wogs out of Work boys' totally shatter the power of the denigrating word 'Wog' and turn it into a badge of honour.
    Have seen many Muslim comedians break apart and highlight the stupid stereo types that are attributed to anyone of Middle eastern appearance with a beard.
    Have seen Asian comedians do the same many years ago when the mass migration occurred from Vietnam.Have seen Bikers(scumbags- :lol: ) moved to tears by Asian comedians.

    That reminds me of a Vietnamese comedians joke a long time ago.

    How do you know a Vietnamese teenagers broken into your home?
    The dogs gone and all your homework's done :D

    PS

    Every time my Vietnamese apprentice came around to my house he would offer me varying figures for my pets in $ per kilo.He had a great sense of humour.

    Gold being held in the US is a joke unto itself.

    We might have to start a different thread on the topic, maybe we should call it :

    Germans newspaper starting to get upset there is no Santa Claus.

    Indeed, humour can break barriers and foil sterotypes, and I think that none of the jokes here were really intended to trivialize things or to insult anybody :)

    What you called a "Drittes economic Reich", could, of course, with some good will, be interpreted as the intention to increase the efforts to stabilize the Euro (since Germany has always be striving for a stable currency). But of course, such a reference to the Nazi regime is highly critical - at least here in Germany, one can simply not say something like this or even make the slightest allusion without at least risking to upset many people. (I had doubts whether I should register in this forum: I don't want to be an "SS member" :/ :lol: )

    Concerning the actual issue (@Trichter) : Of course it is legitimate to ask whether this gold really still exists. But this issue is not new and was already discussed in another forum in 2009, and probably even earlier. Some people did also rise the question whether the Gold in Fort Knox still exists. I wonder how one should proove that the gold still exists: In the article they are talking about providing a list with the bars' serial numbers - sounds like "paper gold" to me :D Maybe Hugo Chavez did the right thing with bringng the physical gold "back home"...?

    closer to the truth than you think!
    my wife's family left her dog with her uncle about 20 years ago? (here in AU) when they had to go on a holiday.
    On return it had gone 'missing'

    She has it on good authority it was last seen in a brown sack.... :D

    I dont know how many ounces. I am not even sure they talk in ounces. They come in Greek sizes.
    As far as i know they have little ones, little bigger ones, normal ones, big ones, bigger ones, and the one the mamma gave me. There might be other ones but they have to ask and check.
