Poverty

Poverty jokes

Dad

    • We were so poor my dad would give me a penny not to eat supper.

    I'd put it under my pillow and while I was sleeping, he would come in and take it. In the morning, he would holler at me for losing the penny.

    Orphan

    • An orphan goes up to someone. The guy says, "Where are your parents?"

    The orphan says, "Why do you think I'm wearing ripped pyjamas?"

    Orphan

    • I saw a little boy begging for money.

    I said, "Are you an orphan?"

    He said, "Yes, what gave me away?"

    I said, "Your parents!"

    Orphan

    • Me: When I saw an orphan on the street in rags.

    Also me: Are you okay?

    Orphan: Yeah, what gave it away?

    Me: Because you have no family.

    Wall

    • Once upon a time, there was a poor man, a middle-class man, and a rich man. They were all talking about how they found happiness in their lives. The rich man said, "I found happiness through money and all of my assets." The middle-class man said, "I found happiness through my steady job and my loving household." The poor man said, "I may not have much, but I find my happiness through the little acts of kindness people show me."

    And then the wall fell on them.
