    there used to be jokes going around when all the japanese banks were in trouble, and going under years ago....

    Bank of Bonsai has had to trim some of its branches
    Fuji Bank has found itself over-exposed
    Origami Bank has folded
    shares in Kamikaze Bank have nosedived
    Karaoke Bank is up for sale and going for a song
    Sumo Bank has gone belly up
    1,000's of staff have been given the chop at Karate Bank
    and there is something very fishy going on at Sushi Bank.....

    :rotfl::D
