My lack of activity on this blog should not leave my readers with the false sense that I no longer see or hear the humor that is the real world around me. In fact, every day there are a number of ideas that are internalized, chuckled at and placed on the shelf entitled "I should blog that". Alas, getting ready for a wedding and going to school leads me to not have a lot of time for anything but those two tasks.

With one of those items nearly behind me, it is timely that I post something funny...or at least funny to me.

Doing my homework the other day, I came across a string of titles that, at least in my own perverted mind, made me chuckle.

The following strategies appeared, in print..

Synthetic Short Put
Bull Put Spread
Top Butterfly Spread
Top Straddle
Strangle

hmmm... should I be repeating these?

and finally...
A Short Zero Premium Collar Using Oil

I'm a long way from Jr. High, but I couldn't help laugh at these.

Oh, and by the way, these are all legitimately spoke of strategies used on Wall Street using option securities.
