The Banker's Story

Post by Little John »

Bankers: Sorry, we lost all your money.
Us: What are you going to do about it?
Bankers: Nothing, you'll have to give us some more money.
Us: Where are we supposed to get that from?
Bankers: You'll have to borrow it.
Us: Who the F--k is going to lend us that sort of money?
Bankers: We will.
Us: But you said you lost all the money.
Bankers: We did. But, you're going to give us some more, so we will lend you that.


This really happened.

I saw that on Facebook and shared it.

It's not, strictly speaking, true because they only needed the money to recapitalise themselves. The money they actually lent came from thin air!
