Morty and Ian are out one afternoon on a lake when their boat starts sinking.
Ian, a banker, says to Morty, “Listen, Morty, I should probably tell you, I don’t swim so well. “
Morty, who worked as a lifeguard when he was younger, begins tugging and pulling on Ian, helping him float towards shore. After twenty minutes, he begins to tire.
Finally about 50 feet from shore, Morty asks, “Ian, do you suppose you could float alone?”
Ian looks at Morty and then replies, “This is a heck of a time to be asking for money!”
