Christmas Eve - Trading, or Joy

Well, I will choose joy but this what happened:

I bought a cryptocurrency knowing it would go up. When I sold it, without realizing it, there a slide button that turned on and it put my purchase into staking. I thought, oh well, I was going to put it in there anyway. Meanwhile, the crypto crapped. I had sold the cryptocurrency at a profit and now it crapped. I wanted to have it sold to pay the taxes on the crypto as income so there would be an input. Well, by the time I get it sold, when it comes out of staking, I doubt I will owe any taxes like last year.

My mistake.

I hoped to make enough money that I could enter the highest social security level and start a public corporation in the coming year. I most likely will start a public corporation in the coming year.

Now I want a joke:

A man entered a supermarket wearing a backpack and in the backpack was a lithium battery powered computer connected to the Internet.

There were a large number of people shopping.

The computer spoke and called out items for him to buy with time limits.

Oranges will increase by one dollar a pound in one minute and 32 seconds.

He quickly ran over to produce and bought the oranges.

Raisin Bran Cereal will increase by two dollars in two minutes. He ran there and bought it.

People noticed that after he bought the items a store clerk came and raised the price to what the computer had said.

The man was older. The computer was heavy. Soon, younger people were racing ahead of him to the items the computer called out.

Before long, the buyers were so thick in front of the products he couldn't buy it in time or it was sold out.

People asked him where he bought the computer and how it costs. I made it he replied it and it saved me a fortune in groceries and other products.

Could I buy one, a lady asked? How much is it?

I will ask it, the man replied. It will take me two weeks because this a prototype. Computer, how much would it cost to make a copy of you in two weeks?

What is the profit margin?

100% he said.

That would be twelve thousand, two hundred and forty-seven dollars.

I can't afford that right now she said but how much would it be in four weeks?

The man asked the computer and it replied in four weeks the company that made my parts will be bankrupt. I can't be built.

A man was listening and he hit the old man and stole his back pack with computer and ran out of the store with it.

The robbery victim mummbled to himself I think the next model will have ear buds and a microphone.

The woman aghast at what had happened to the old man but since he appeared to be fine she asked him, Are you single?

Yes he replied.

Let me take you home and take care of your injuries.

Thank you, yes.

She paid for her merchandise and they left the store to her home.

Out in the parking lot the man who had hit him said, There's only a tape recorder in this backpack and threw it at the man who caught it.

The woman asked, Did you try to defraud me?

No the man replied, I have the computer at home in a safe, I recorded what it said before I went shopping.

Well, in that case, wear ear buds next time and you can do all the shopping. You were looking for a woman more than groceries?

Not only are you very pretty you are very intelligent too.

Merry Christmas! They said to each other

and they drove off to her place.
