Laugh at Hard Times

Valluvar, the great Tamil poet said, a இடுக்கண் வருங்கால் நகுக, which means 'Laugh when you are faced with a difficulty'. Now that the world is in deep financial crisis, first let us start laughing. Then, let us talk a bit more about the bubble.

These quotes were collected from different people.

"There are two sides to a Balance Sheet - Left & the Right (Liabilities and Assets respectively). On the left side there is nothing right and on the right side there is nothing left".

Q : "What is the difference between a guy who lost everything in Vegas and an investment banker ?"
A : "A tie"

Q : "What is the difference between a Pigeon and a London investment banker ?"
A : "The pigeon can still make a deposit on a BMW"

Q : "What is the full form of AIG ?"
A : " American Innocence and Greed"

"I went to buy a toaster and it came with a Bank."

And, the best is,
"I want to warn people from Nigeria, who may be watching this show. I warn you - if you get any emails from Washington asking for money, it is a scam. Don't fall for it."
Tarsh sent the link to another wonderful British talk show where they discuss the sub-prime crisis. Really nice. Do watch this hilarious Video from You Tube.
