Ok... It's an old joke, but I haven't seen it on the thread.

A stock broker is showing a prospective client around and takes him to have lunch at the yacht club. The dining room overlooks the jetties and the broker starts identifying the owners of the yachts. He points out his own boat, the large schooner owned by the senior partner, the other broker's yachts and finally the ones owned by the brokers in some of the rival firms.

"That's great", says the client, "but where are the customer's yachts?"

If you've ever been screwed by a broker or bought a mutual fund only to find out afterwards about some minor detail such as a hefty front end load, you'll understand why this joke is funny and NOT funny.
