ScienceBlogs Book Club: Inside the Outbreaks

Dynamics of Cats

Speculations on astronomy, astrophysics, news I find interesting, theoretical issues, science and science policy. I will digress into computational physics, science fiction and general issues and basically whatever I feel like whenever. And, of course, cats.

International "Talk Like A Banker Day"

Category: random
Posted on: November 24, 2008 3:35 PM, by Steinn Sigurðsson

We need one of those.


"I say, hand over your money. All of it, if you'd be so good.
Awfully decent of you chaps. Thank you most kindly."

"If you securitize the leveraged derivatives you enhance alpha, and you know housing prices never go down."

"They don't make any more land, you know."

"Your money is safe with us."

"No sir, there are no hidden fees."

"Quantitative easing is needed. Don't worry, we have top experts working on it.
Top experts."


If September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, shouldn't we have a Banker's Day also?

December 15th seems both clear and appropriate, it being the anniversary if Belisarius's defeat of the Vandals, and nicely spaced between black friday and sinterklaas day on the one hand, and solstice and boxing day on the other side.

I bet bankers say "Argh" a lot, like other pirates.

One I've been seeing a lot recently is, "The fundamentals of our company are sound." And, "We're well capitalized!"
