Avarice and Greed - are they different from each other?
As nouns the difference between avarice and greed is that avarice is excessive or inordinate desire of gain; greediness after wealth; covetousness; cupidity while greed is a selfish or excessive desire for more than is needed or deserved, especially of money, wealth, food, or other possessions.
That comes from wikidiff.com - another of the many parts of Wikipedia. So let's find out some avarice and greed jokes. Here's the first from upjoke.com, the website where jokes are voted to the top.

I found this short, thin stick covered with flammable chemical at one end.I rubbed it firmly against a rough surface. Suddenly I felt completeness and purpose in life. All the negative feelings such as bitterness and hate melted away. I started to see divine beauty around me and I was able to forgive everything. My mind was still. As I looked around me, I noticed there was no more fighting, envy, war or greed. Peace at last! Love conquered the world.
What I found was...a match made in heaven.
Isn't this curious how the the jokes are sort of about greed (as compared to avarice) except for the Donald Trump joke. Seems to make sense, though, doesn't it.
