Jokes fir stock market

Recently, there has been a spate of mergers, RHB and Sime Bank,etc. Rumours in the market have it that Lam Soon Huat and Parkson plan to merge - The proposed new name for the company is, you have guessed it-

"LamPar".

However, it is suspected that KLSE will object to this, since it would be
deemed not proper for lady brokers and remisiers to transact LP shares on
behalf of their male clients. Moreover, Lam Par name seems very crude and it
means scrotum in Hokkien

examples :

The people : " How much is Lam Par now?", " I want to sell Lam Par at 60
cents."

The male broker : " How much do you want to buy Lam Par?"

The female broker : " Lam Par, 60 cents, sold!"

The newspaper : "Good management lifts Lam Par.", "Lam Par drop again.",
"Lam Par suspended.", "Plunging Lam Par needs Viagra", "Lam Par is being
squeezed out as market leader."

The employees : "We are Lam Par employees."

The interviewer : "Mr. Wu, you have written in your resume that your last
company was ...er... Lam Par. Did they treat you so badly that you have to
put in an abusive term for them?"

Share buyer was heard doing a transaction with his remisier over the
handphone inside the LRT.

Buyer : " Hey, Mr.Tan buy for me Lam Par... Nor Liap. (Literally it means:
Buy for me 2 lots of Lam Par shares)

Remisier: " I can't hear you, buy order louder."

Buyer (very loud): "Lam Par lah.... Nor Liap...OK?"

All the commuters : Stunned, especially the ladies.

After receiving long complaints from many female remisiers, the "Lam Par"
shareholders decide to do something to their "Lam Par"...They sit down
together and brainstorm for the new name...After going through many days of discussion and arguments, finally Parkson agrees to inject more capital and everyone agrees to the new name : "Par Lam"

When SC receives the request to change name, he asks: "Hey, what is the
difference? Lam Par Par Lam...."
