Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

With pets, it's always "knead knead knead," why don't they "give give give"?

I knew that could get a rise out of you all.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I was looking through some old messages to see if I could find some particularly harrowing loan stories. This one, for a borrower who doesn't understand mortgages or mortgage terminology, would definately send them into default.

I spoke to [redacted] the [redacted] this week and she told me about a new product she is seeing called Option Arms.

The way the work is the borrower is given a payment coupon with three different payment options; a 30 year amortization (the high payment) an Interest Only (the medium payment) and a Negative Amortization (the low payment) Many borrowers will opt for the lowest payment, the negative amortization.

The lender will allow the borrowers to pay this until they hit 115% loan to value. At that point the lender requires a full payment based on a 30 year amortization. The borrower can't afford this new payment and since they now owe 115% of the value of the home they can't sell or re-fi and they lose the house

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

They're definitely not pets; they just loaf around.

Any more puns and you guys are toast!

"I am the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world"

Mr. Jane said that yesterday they had an alligator farm in Cutoff, LA which I drove through back in the Search for Gas in South Louisiana adventure of Aught Four

Mhmm they had to stick a finger up the aligators butt to "sex" it. The jokes from there just write themselves. Please pretend I said something witty here.

I'm kinda with megan. Just how much responsibility doesn't lie with the person defaulting? Do we give a pass for stupidity? Easily intimidated by fast talking people so you sign fast? It's not fair that some people were bamboozled. Unfortunately, it was more or less legal. So fix the industry so that can't happen anymore and prosecute the less legal aspects.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If you put butter on a bread animal, will it always land butter-side down?
