Getting Down and Dirty With Bwankers

Apart from making marvellous beer, there's really not a lot that you can say the Germans do well.

Hmmmm, I suppose they're okay at soccer, but pretty useless at World Wars - and they do have that very silly dancing where they wear leather pants and slap each other a lot.

Which reminds me. The recent massive and billion dollar profits from banks make me want to take up that silly German dance and do it with the bank chiefs.

They may be expecting a slight tap on the cheek, but I'm thinking more of a fullout bitch-slapping session to smack them into order.

What a pack of arseholes. Here they are sacking staff, closing branches and treating Australians like they are the droppings found on shoes - and yet racking up 10-figure profits EVERY SIX MONTHS!

Now country folk are up in arms about the Bwankers and they should be too, considering they have copped the full fury of the Bwankers's feral campaign to shut down anything that looked like servicing the public.

When was the last time you popped into a bank? The queues are so horrendous I cannot afford to do so anymore. I went into the local one to pay in a cheque recently and it took so long to be served my usually clean-shaven cheeks (well, almost) had me looking like Santa Claus. I reckon I aged four months while standing listening to musak and watching those daft bloody videos of how great the Bwankers are.

As my good mates Dave and Chrissy said recently, it's up to the Government to get stuck into these corporate a-holes and remind them that they have a social duty to uphold and the costs they are heaping upon small business is sending many to the wall.

Now I'm a believer in private enterprise and don't like too much governmental intereference, however, these Bwankers have a monopoly over our money.

How?

Well, we all have to get paid don't we (when was the last time you saw cash in your paypacket?) and have it electronically stored somewhere. So how about Canberra gently nudging the Bwankers with a baseball bat and suggesting they be a bit more reasonable and less greedy.

The government could say: "Have a heart guys, you're hurting millions of people."

Knowing the Bwankers for what they are I'm sure they'd say "Oh, we didn't realise, sorry, we'll change our ways."

Then again, I might have just had a spiked drink and be tripping out on acid...
