I'm hearing some bad things about the japanese banks.



I've just read that uncertainty has now hit the Japanese banking sector:



In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded.



Sumo Bank has gone belly up.



Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.



Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will

likely go for a song, while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were

suspended after they nose-dived.



Samurai Bank is soldiering on following sharp cutbacks,



Ninja Bank is reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.



Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report

that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is

feared that staff may get a raw deal!

What's the difference between a London City Trader and a pigeon? A pigeon can still put down a deposit on a new Ferrari!!!!

Winston Churchill’s tribute to the RAF after the Battle of Britain with his lampoon on the banking industry: “Never before in the field of global finance was so much damage done to so many by so few.”

Resolving to surprise her husband, a chief exec's wife pops by his office. She finds him in an unorthodox position, with his secretary sitting in his lap.



Without hesitation, he starts dictating, "...and in conclusion, gentlemen, credit crunch or no credit crunch, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair.

hear that the credit crunch is even affecting fairgrounds. My friend's a dodgems operator and he lost his job this morning. He's suing for funfair dismissal.

I have another friend who's a weather forecaster and he lost his job today too. Nothing to do with the credit crunch, he just kept making very inaccurate predictions. Consequently he's very surprised to be leaving under a cloud.
