Graham Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Found this on a financial website. Quite funny I thought. Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan. In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and 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. While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja Bank are 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. There is also concern over the fate of Kimono Bank which, it is believed, has been hung out to dry, whilst Ming Bank fear this to be the end of a dynasty. However; and on a positive note Rickshaw Bank, say they have put wheels in motion to prevent the situation completely running away with them.

EXO Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Man I'm so glad I have my money at Bonzai Bank. It's not a large financial institution as its mostly made of tiny little branches with firm roots! ZING!
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 no way man your far too optimistic, you can kiss those funds goodbye!
EXO Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 haha for some reason I missed that bit about Bonsai bank on Grahams post...
mikeszekely Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I had some money in Rickshaw Bank, but I'm worried they might be taking me for a ride.
Mr March Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 HAHAHAHAHA! This is brilliant. Just yesterday I read the big article about the drop in the market and the effects it was having around the world, especially Europe and Japan. Damn, that is a funny article and quite clever too.
Valk009 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 A clever piece of article to lighten up all those who got burnt in recent days!
KingNor Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 i .. i jsut don't see how you can all laugh about this. financial crisis is serious business
GobotFool Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Sometimes when the things are grim, and you've hit rock bottom, the only way to get your spirits back up is to laugh about it. Or laugh at other people who have it worse. Either way works.
Mr March Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I agree. I read bad news every day. You have no choice if you want to stay informed. If I can counter all the negativity in my daily news with a good joke, I'll take it any chance I can get.
EXO Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 i .. i jsut don't see how you can all laugh about this. financial crisis is serious business Why so serious?
Mr March Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Evil, EXO. Pure evil. The joker would be proud Edited January 23, 2008 by Mr March
protostar8 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 And to think I read an article this morning talking about how the yen is still at a high exchange rate even after this mess.
danth Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 At first I was worried about my stocks in Yakuza Bank dropping in value, but percentage wise, their losses are in the single digits.
KingNor Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) At first I was worried about my stocks in Yakuza Bank dropping in value, but percentage wise, their losses are in the single digits. NICE!!! let me try one: The Japanese branch of China's First Feng Shui Bank said "for this economic change we are positioned nicely." Edited January 23, 2008 by KingNor
danth Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 The Japanese branch of China's First Feng Shui Bank said "for this economic change we are positioned nicely."Good one! I bet Ramen Bank is finished. They've been in financial hot water for some time now.
ruskiiVFaussie Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 haha for some reason I missed that bit about Bonsai bank on Grahams post... nah there is two meanings, bansai tree and "BANSAIIIIIIIIIII!"
KingNor Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 can't think of anymore, and i really want to.
ssfsx17 Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 The Seifuku mutual fund has been gripped tightly by the numerous tendrils of the market forces.
the white drew carey Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Thank goodness I keep my funds at Sake Bank... ...the market can be hot or cold, but they're always good.
mikeszekely Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Seppuku Bank is going to take a stab at restructuring from within.
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Bukake Bank is fearing that the sudden surge of early withdrawals is going to leave everyone with egg on their faces. (Sorry, had to do it)
