Even in the worst shipwrecks, the band plays on.”
42. I was feeling bullish about my investments, so I called my broker and said, “I think the market is going up!

49. I asked my broker, “With the economy so unstable, what’s the safest investment right now?” He thought for a minute and said, “Parachutes.
