Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and the run on Northern Rock in the UK, uncertainty has now hit the Japanese banking system.

In the last 7 days the famous Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up and the Bonsai Bank has announced plans to cut some of its branches.

Yesterday, it was announced that the Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will likely go for a song. Shares in the Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived and 500 staff at the Karate Bank got the chop.

Meanwhile, analysts report that there is something fishy going on at the Sushi Bank, where it is feared that customers may get a raw deal.




...3 free pints in the wind jammer to whoever can guess the amount of puns in the above article.
 
The Judo Bank has fallen flat on its face while representatives of the Ninja Bank are nowhere to be found:eek:
 
...and as we all know, shares in the Tempura bank have taken a bit of a battering.
 
It's okay, the Geisha Bank spokesman said they were not going to take things lying down? :D
 
The Chairman of the Hari Kari Bank doesn't.......you've guessed it.... have the stomach for the fight :eek:
 
"Shares in the Kamikaze Bank were suspended after they nose-dived and 500 staff at the Karate Bank got the chop"...

And for the remaining staff it's a bloodbath...
 
However, in a more positive development, the Kama Sutra bank announced its intention to adopt a different position to the others........
 
Think they were just trying to spice things up a bit.

Anyway, if indeed Indian banks are in trouble, they probably had it cumin.
 
Share dealing in the AHSO bank has been suspended pending the results of a probe in it's 'overnight deposit section'. This could well precipitate a run. :eek:
 
Some commentators have said we should be relieved that banks are at last being reigned in.
For too long they've had an open kimono on the world economy.
