CBA blames Merrill Lynch for capital bungle


"The Commonwealth Bank has blamed broker Merrill Lynch for an embarrassing capital raising bungle.

Last night the Commonwealth Bank announced it had successfully raised $2 billion through a share placement, which had been overseen by broking firm Merrill Lynch.
......
Investors pulled out of the $27 per share placement when the Commonwealth Bank revealed it expected increases in bad loans after the share offer had closed."



This is whats called a real life joke
 
A motorcycle cop has been hiding in the bushes all day, hoping to catch a speeder. He finally pulls over a guy doing 180km an hour in a convertible Jag.
Grinning from ear to ear, the cop leans into the Jag and says: I've been waiting for you all day long, pal. The guy in the Jag, drunk as a skunk, replies: well offisher, I got here as fast as I could!

A bit later another motorcycle cop pulls over the same drunk. This time the cop is a female. She tells him: "Sir, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be held against you." The drunk says: "t1ts"

Somewhat later the same drunk stumbles out of a bottleshop. He sees a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. He staggers over to the cop and says: "Come on pal, give a guy a break." The cop keeps writing the ticket. Come on, the drunk says, don't be such a friggin' Nazi! So the cop writes a second ticket for the car having a damaged tail light. The drunk calls him an ********, and the cop writes a third ticket for worn windshield wipers. This goes on for ten minutes: the drunk hurling abuse and the cop writing tickets. Finally the cop closes his book and says: are you satisfied now? The drunk says, I really don't give a damn offisher. My car is parked around the corner.
 
Now you Know

A motorcycle cop pulled me over the other day. When he got to the car window I said “ I know officer your going to ask me to bye a ticket to the Motorcycle cops ball”. he replayed “ Motorcycle cops don’t have balls “

A memo from the H.R. Dept. Sorry bout the censorship (its the ASF software) but I think you can work out the word.

Dear Employee,

Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 50 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to Management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW program (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED can get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who got AIDS or HERPES are not eligible to be SHAFTed or SCREWed any more.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much **** (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of **** it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough ****, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor. They have been trained to give you all the **** you can handle.

Thanking you

Blonde Joke

A young ventriliquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going throgh his usual dumb blonds jokes.

Suddenly, a blonde woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting,
" I've heard enough of your stupid ass blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the colour of a persons hair have to do with her worth as a human being?
Its guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person.
Because of you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general... and all in the name of humour!"

The embarrassed ventriliquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells,
"You stay out of this, mister! I'm talking to that little **** on your knee."
 
Sometime in the future, George W. Bush has a heart attack and dies.
Obviously he goes to hell, where the Devil is waiting for him.

'I'm not sure what to do,' says the Devil. 'You're on my list, but I
have no room for you. As you definitely have to stay here, I'm
going to have to let someone else go.

I've got three folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let
one of them go, but you have to take their
place. I'll even let you decide who leaves.'


George W. thought that sounded pretty good, so he agreed.


The Devil opened the first room. In it were Richard Nixon and a
large pool of hot water. He kept diving in and climbing out, over
and over. Such was his fate in hell.


'No!' said George W. 'I don't think so, I'm not a good swimmer and
don't think I could stay in hot water all day.'


The Devil led him to the next room. In it was Tony Blair with a
sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing the
hammer, time after time.


No! I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant
agony if all I could do was break rocks all day.' commented George W.


The Devil opened the third door. In it, George W. saw Bill Clinton
lying on the floor with his arms staked over his head, and his legs
staked in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky,
doing what she does best.


George W. looked at this in disbelief for a while, and finally said
'Yeah, I can handle this.'


The Devil smiled and said, 'OK, Monica, you're free to go!'

Murder at Woolworths

Tired of constantly being broke and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed.

A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie'. Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000.

The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money.

Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes and reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed.

A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Woolworths store. There, he surprised her in the produce department and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands and as the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath and slumped to the floor.

The manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well.

However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could even leave the store.

Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested.


The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared ...

11) BB's Helen Adam’s on education: "The worst thing is when the press call me a dizzy blonde - I got a B in Drama, a D in English, I did a hairdressing course and a beauty certificate."

23) Chantelle Houghton on hearing George Galloway was an MP: "Does that mean you work in that big room with the green seats?"

The Somali pirates, renegade Somalis known for hijacking ships for ransom in the Gulf of Aden, are negotiating a purchase of Citigroup.

The pirates would buy Citigroup with new debt and their existing cash stockpiles, earned most recently from hijacking numerous ships, including most recently a $200 million Saudi Arabian oil tanker. The Somali pirates are offering up to $0.10 per share for Citigroup, pirate spokesman Sugule Ali said earlier today. The negotiations have entered the final stage, Ali said.

“You may not like our price, but we are not in the business of paying for things. Be happy we are in the mood to offer the shareholders anything,” said Ali.

The pirates will finance part of the purchase by selling new Pirate Ransom Backed Securities. The PRBS’s are backed by the cash flows from future ransom payments from hijackings in the Gulf of Aden. Moody’s and S&P have already issued their top investment grade ratings for the PRBS’s.

Head pirate, Ubu Kalid Shandu, said: “We need a bank so that we have a place to keep all of our ransom money. Thankfully, the dislocations in the capital markets has allowed us to purchase Citigroup at an attractive valuation and to take advantage of TARP capital to grow the business even faster.”
