Checking Balance Literally

The joke plays on the ambiguity of the phrase "check her balance." Instead of the expected action of looking at her bank account balance, the speaker takes it literally and pushes the old lady over to 'check her balance', which is unexpected and dark.

• Balance
• Lady
• Morbidity
• Old
• Misunderstanding
• Bank

• I lost my job at the bank. Some lady asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her.
• When a person asked to see her balance at a bank, they pushed him over.
• An old lady was low on money because she had spent all of her money on clothes. So she decided to go to the bank. She walked up to the guy at the desk. She asked if he could check her balance. He asked a few questions to the old lady, like her weight and her height. He asked her if she had done any exercise recently. She was very confused. She got angry and asked the man again to check her balance. So he stood up, walked next to her and pushed her over. He came to the conclusion that she had a low balance.
• An old lady told me to check her balance, so I pushed her off the edge without knowing it was her cash she wanted to check, so I died to help her!
