Okay, when are the brokers gonna start jumping out of windows on Wall Street...
Jesus, what pussies. Back in '29, these were real men. Men who could look adverse economic times right square in the eye and then take a dive out of a window.

Now, they all gather round in therapy sessions, listening to CNBC and Erin Burnett, while secretly wanting to bone her, and place blame for all their troubles on the Democrats.

If they had any balls, out the window they would go.

But perhaps they are stymied by the all these new fangles no open windows.

Well fellas, elevator shafts work just as well...

1. Why should they jump?
They'll be fine. We're the ones getting tossed overboard.

4. Vera Cruz, that is...
Leave the wife and kids to fend for themselves...

These guys are a new kind of sleaze, should have been selling used cars in Hoboken but ended up on Wall Street instead.

3. Many of them are still out on cruises and at big parties sponsored by their failed companies.
We get to pay for that, too.

9. Ironic.... the president of the company I work for just came in and said...
knowing that I spend a portion of my day on the 'net... "Well, are there any people jumping out of buildings yet"?

Amazing. Even he, a 63 year old guy who built this place from ground zero is seeing darker times ahead.

13. Sorry, just have to say it -
"listening to CNBC and Erin Burnett, while secretly wanting to bone her"

Was listening to this certain "alternative" radio show the other day and they compared Maria Bartaromo (spelling?) to the fertile egg with all the sperm swimming around her attempting to penetrate. LOL I about died. Sure enough I turned over to CNBC and she was wearing all white that day.

LOL

Erin is the girl next door, Maria is the Hollywood Harlot...

14. Actually, if the populace had any balls, we'd be impaling their asses on fucking pitch forks.
Then carting them off to the guillotines.

16. Screw the guillotine. Just line them up against the wall.
Much easier, much quicker. Why go through all the trouble building a guillotine, when there's a plethora of guns thanks to the NRA?

17. We have to wait until they return from their weekend retreats and week long cruises,
courtesy of the American taxpayer, first.
