A Wunch of Bankers

Mark Twain: "A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it starts to rain".

And Bertolt Brecht told us that "It is easier to rob by setting up a bank than by holding up a bank clerk".

Perhaps we should now say that he who robs a bank gets 10 years; he who ruins a bank gets a $10m bonus.

Late Edit: Just learned that new Chief Financial Officer for Citygroup Bank (NY) is called Ned Kelly.
