Banks

[Curly(SO)]

Following the problems in the financial sector in the UK and U.S.A, 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 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.

So, if I'm understanding this rightly, the economy is also taking a downturn in the Land of the Rising Sun? I also heard that executives at the Seppuku Bank have been accused of gutless maneuvers in this crisis. But, so far, that's only a rumour.

Wow CJ!! I also heard that the Seppuku Bank were slashing their overhead to avoid an economic bloodletting.

Did you read where the Yakuza were searching for cheaper enforcers during this economic downturn, calling on unemployed Kobe beef chefs for part time work. Said Hiroki Watsamatu, in answer to this question, "Chop, Chop!"
