Sometimes I pick a non-funny topic and try to make three jokes about it. Here are three topical jokes about the subprime mortgage crisis.

Q: What do you call a piece of meat that forecloses your house, causes a global recession and is marketed disproportionately to minorities?
A: Subprime rib

Man: I sure wish I had lost my house during the subprime mortgage crisis.
Woman: Really, why’s that?
Man: Would’ve meant I had a house.

Sure I lost my suburban home during the subprime mortgage crisis, but my family and I think of it as gaining a new lease on life. Or at least a new lease on a windowless studio apartment next to the park where the junkies sleep.
