    Resolving to surprise her husband, an investment banker’s wife pops by his office. She finds him in an unorthodox position, with his secretary sitting in his lap. Without hesitation, he starts dictating, “…and in conclusion, gentlemen, credit crunch or no credit crunch, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair!”

    Some definitions of a recession from different viewpoints or perceptions

    Banker: “Where’s me Bonus?”
    Optimist: “what an amazing opportunity”
    Yuppie: “Whadya mean I have to actually work?”
    Unemployed Poker player: “Now I’m a professional”
    Pessimist: “Nothing’s really changed except it’s just got worse!”
    Fox Rock Mum: “Lidl’s the place to be seen in now!”
    Cowen: “It’s not my fault that me and my party are complete fuck-ups - it’s the recession silly!”

    Peter Lawless: “it’s an amazing thing, because like the rose tree needs pruning to blossom, the recession will get rid of all of the value-less bullshit, overcharging and crap that we foolishly allowed - Go recession, go - and let the truly strong survive!”

    Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on HBOS in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.
    In the last 7 hours 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.
    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. And has for northern wok? well thats just fucked!

    Me and a couple of friends were waiting outside the Button Factory in Templebar one night when a few beggers came over and asked us for money. One of them claimed she was pregnant and started rubbing her bump. One of my friends looks down and just casually says, “I think your in labour…I can see it’s arm” with that we all looked down and see the sleeve of the top she had shoved up her jumper hanging down. She scarpered pretty fast while we fell about laughing!
