Limerick

In a condo up high in the sky,

Where the neighbors live close by,

There’s a pool and a gym,

And the fees can feel grim,

But the views are the reason to buy!

Humour

Here are humorous thoughts related to condominiums, multi-family communities, and volunteer boards:

 

1. Why did the condo resident bring a ladder to the board meeting?  

   Because they wanted to rise above the issues!

 

2. What do you call a group of neighbors in a multi-family community who agree on everything?  

   A fantasy.

 

3. Why don't condo board meetings ever last just an hour?  

   Because they always take a detour into "old business" and never find their way out!

 

4. Why did the elevator break during the condo board's budget discussion?  

   Too many ups and downs!

 

5. What’s a condo board’s favorite type of music?  

   Heavy metal… especially when they’re dealing with parking gate repairs!

 

6. Why did the volunteer board president get an award?  

   For being outstanding… in the hallway, listening to everyone's complaints.

 

7. Why did the condo owner love the gym?  

   Because it’s the only place they could avoid running into board members asking for volunteers!

 

8. What do you get when you cross a condo board meeting with a sitcom?  

   "Friends" – who argue over the cost of landscaping!

 

9. Why did the multi-family community host a talent show?  

   To see if anyone could balance the budget!

 

10. What’s the board’s favorite game at community events?  

   Hide and seek… but it’s always the budget they're hiding!
