Dad Joke explanation
The Joke:
I got fired from my job at the bank today. An old lady came in and asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her over.
This is a classic play on words (a pun) involving the word balance.
The Two Meanings
​The Banking Meaning: The amount of money currently in your bank account. The old lady wanted to know how much money she had.
​The Physical Meaning: The ability to stay upright and not fall down.
​The Twist
​When the lady asked the teller to "check her balance," she wanted to see her bank statement. Instead, the teller treated it like a physical test—he pushed her over to "check" if she could stay standing.
