Bank on it JOW #442

Andreas sent me some banker jokes. Hey, if I can do jokes about chemists and economists investment bankers should be easy. After all, they have reduced the economy to a joke.

But first, Mary Ellen has the best short joke of the year
A 3-year-old boy examined his testicles while taking a bath.
'Mommy', he asked, 'Are these my brains?'
'Not yet,' she replied.

Now for those banker jokes
• Financial Advisors are sleeping like babies – they wake up every hour and cry.
• Heard from an investment banker: “This crisis is worse than a divorce. I lost half of my belongings and am still married.”
• The credit crunch has helped me get back on my feet. The car's been repossessed.
• I went to buy a toaster and it came with a bank.
• A director decided to award a prize of $50 for the best idea of saving the company money during the credit crunch. It was won by a young executive who suggested reducing the prize money to $10.

And Banker riddles.

Japanese Banking Humor
Uncertainty has now hit Japan. In the last seven days, Origami bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank has announced plans to cut some of its branches. Yesterday, it was also announced that Karaoke Bank will go up for sale and will likely go for a song, while shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended today after they crashed. While Samurai Bank is soldiering on after sharp cutbacks, 500 employees at Karate Bank got the chop. Finally, analysts report that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank, where it is feared that staff may get a raw deal.
