BANKERS ARE ...

BANKERS ARE ...

What's the difference between a dead cat on the motorway and a dead banker on the motorway?
There are skid marks around the cat.




In an amusement arcade in Southwold, Suffolk, there is an amusement called 'Whack A Banker' - see above photo. The game’s instructions state:

"When the coins are inserted, the banking poster falls to reveal the fruit machine ‘gambling’ display. The bankers pop up out of the holes in the table and the game is simply to whack as many as possible in 30 seconds with the investment instrument (the mallet). There is an easy option, ‘low yield, safe investment’ and a much harder one, ‘high yield, high risk investment’. If you lose, the bankers put the experience behind them and return to business as usual, If you win, the bankers retire and thank you for funding their pensions."

The inventor of ‘Whack A Banker’, Tim Hunkin, said the amusement has proven to be very lucrative. "You pay 40p to hit as many bankers as you can in 30 seconds as their heads pop up", said the inventor. People use a mallet to hit as many bald and faceless pop-up bankers as they can in the time. Tim Hunkin observed, "It's proving very popular. I keep having to replace worn-out mallets."

Why don't sharks attack bankers?
Professional courtesy.


Poor bankers! Bankers seem more despised than politicians, journalists and estate agents all put together.

When someone says, banker, what is the first thought that comes into your head?
Are we scapegoating bankers?
Why do we trust bankers, and not politicians, to set interest rates?


A London banker dies in poverty and so his local pub decides to raise funds for his funeral. One day a man walks into the pub and is asked to donate 20p for the fund. "What's it for?" he asks, and the landlord tells him. So he reaches into his pocket, hands him a £5 note and says, "Here, go and bury 25 of them."

Do you know of any good banker jokes?

P.S. Also in Southwold pier’s arcade are amusements called ‘Pet Or Meat’, ‘Mobility Masterclass’ to train punters in using a zimmer frame, ‘Rent-A-Dog’ where punters walk a around Southwold, ‘Get Your Mother-In-Law Frisked’, and 'My-Nuke' where punters can load plutonium rods into a nuclear reactor, all designed and built by the eccentric inventor. Sounds like a great pier to visit!

    In laboratories they now use bankers instead of rats for lethal experiments. Scientists found it easier as they could grow fond of the rats !!

What do you call ten bankers at the bottom of the sea with their feet cased in concrete?
A good start!

Tim Hunkin needs to export his 'Whack A Banker' amusement game to Canada. I think it will be very therapeutic to play the game! x
