Thanks, folks. My editor always comes up with good ideas, though. And even if I don’t use his exact ideas, they always help me reconsider the punch line, which is important because my first idea usually isn’t the best.
I just think saying “stockbrokers” again in the second panel sounds repetitive. You’ve already established their profession in the first panel. Why not just say “Any of you guys…”

Although the editor had some funny lines, you get credit Nathan for sticking to yours.

I agree the first punchline was definitely the best. Laughing, then crying. Much funnier.
