Funny Business Comments: |
Some of entries for the "MorganStanleySmithBarney" Contest coming in today:
From JB, STANLEY & BLARNEY ("We Race Ahead of The Tape & Ahead of the Times.")
From Ex Morgan employee, BARNEY MORGAN ("They could get Abe Vigoda as a spokesman, to declare, 'I'm not dead and neither is Wall Street'.")
From Paul in Hawaii, TARP SAVINGS & LOAN ("They need to drop the normal string of names and adopt a NEW NAME all together, and their motto would be 'Cash Is Jack'.")
From Joseph Farrugia, MAN ABS REMONSTRATINGLY ("It is an anagram. Add in Dean Witter and you can get: East Northeastwardly Betraying Min Men.")
From Matthew Golden, SMITHMORGUE
(Note--we've had multiple submissions for "Citi-Morg", or "Citi-Morgue", but Henry Schwarz had it first!)
From Fred Schoeffler, MORE BARNEY AND FRIENDS
From Stephen Manley, MORBARNEYSTANLEY ("'We take your money one investor at a time and do it to you the old fashioned way'...I worked for both Dean Witter and Smith Barney during my career as a financial consultant. Can't believe these titans of finance are getting together, but I think it is going to end up like children from a marriage between first cousins, real ugly.")
From Ken Asquith, MOSABY
From GF Adamczyk, MORGAN STANLEY SMITH BARNEY FIFE ("Citi Bank shoots themselves in the foot again!")
And from Heather Holloway, two submissions: SMORGLY AND SMARNEY ("The American Taxpayer Investment formerly known as Morgan Stanley and Smith Barney.")
BLARNEY STONE ("All financial advisors have kissed it, so they can eloquently tell you your money is disappearing instead of just saying 'You're screwed'.")
