🔤 Wordplay
I used to be a banker.
But I lost interest.
Why This Joke Works
'Lost interest' means becoming disinterested AND interest is the fundamental mechanism of banking — the financial product bankers professionally manage. The banker quit because they stopped caring about the very thing their job required.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Deliver 'lost interest' with wistful acceptance of someone who found the banking world fundamentally uncompelling, which is deeply ironic given the job requirements.
Perfect for:
- •At a bank when someone asks how long you've worked in finance
- •During a conversation about career changes and what makes work meaningful
- •When discussing interest rates and someone's eyes immediately glaze over
