Why did the banker quit his job?
He lost interest.
Why This Joke Works
"Lost interest" means both losing enthusiasm for work and what bankers literally deal in — interest rates. The irony is that interest is the banker's actual business, making his departure perfectly self-defeating.
🎤 How to Tell This Joke
Deliver it with the flat affect of someone reading a bank statement — clinical, not dramatic. The financial formality makes the pun land naturally.
Perfect for:
- •During a conversation about job burnout
- •When interest rates are in the news
- •At a finance or banking industry event
