So you think you hate puns? Wait until you hear this item from a Singapore newspaper about a Japanese banking crisis. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Japanese Banking Pun”
Something I recorded in my Commonplace book a long time ago came from a Singapore newspaper.
And their website doesn’t exist anymore, but I still have this clipping on my computer.
And I wanted to share this with you.
This is a fictional report about a Japanese banking crisis, okay?
Okay.
Following last week’s news that the origami bank had folded, we are hearing that Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank plans to cut back some of its branches.
Karaoke Bank is up for sale and is going for a song.
Meanwhile, shares in Kamikaze Bank have nosedived and 500 back office staff at Karate Bank got the chop.
Analysts report fishy going-ons at Sushi Bank and staff fear they may get a raw deal.
So, I don’t like puns, but that was quite nice.
That was terrific.
We’d love to hear your wacky stories, your weird tales, your odd jokes.
