They say that when the shoeshine boy starts talking about stocks it’s a time to get out of the market. Last week, David Letterman offered his Top Ten List,
Top Ten Signs You Have a Bad Bank
- Manager giggles whenever he says, “early withdrawal”
- They made $2 million loan to the Hillary Clinton campaign
- Most banks are backed by the FDIC; your bank is backed by KFC
- Bank robbers leave with a sack of IOUs — that’s how bad things are, ladies and gentlemen
- Loan officer will approve your mortgage only if you let him rub you
- ATM looks suspiciously like a Ms. Pac-Man machine
- Interest paid not in money, but in Saltines
- They promise they’ll have your money if you come back after tonight’s Keno drawing
- Instead of Andrew Jackson, their $20 bills have a picture of Tito Jackson
- Teller asks, “How may I swindle you?”
Maybe this is the sign that we’ve reached the bottom in this crisis, I hope so.
