Bankers vs. Lawyers/Accountants

I had to put this one up. This is an email exchange between a group of lawyers and a group of bankers. Albeit they are all a big bunch of happy friends, one Friday evening, at the end of a long week, they decided to take a dig at one another. While those who had had a tough week joined the banter, the others were silent witnesses. I do hope that each one of you will take this exchange as it is – simple humour. If anybody is offended, it is at their own peril. I do not take any responsibility for the same. I hold accountants, bankers and lawyers all responsible for their actions, none superior to the other.

Banker 1:
PPL, I understand that we all are on for drinks this evening...some getting there by 7...balance by 730ish. Are there any thoughts on which place we should hit at?

Banker 1 (after 5 minutes of minutes of thought):

Happy hour sangrias too :-)

Lawyer 1:
cool but it's got this comment, "It gets so loud that conversation with your companions becomes hard work " but we can walk on from there if it gets too loud....

Banker 2:
Hmmmm…….Lawyer 1 what is the intellectual discussion on the agenda?

Lawyer 1:
The 10 differences between bankers and lawyers/accountants ;-)

Banker 2:
Bankers are profit centres, accountants and lawyers are cost centres ;-)

Lawyer 1:
Surely you mean- Bankers are loss centres, accountants and lawyers are sanity centres ;-)

Banker 2:
Is that the reason that lawyers and accountants are at the beck and call of bankers?? So much so for being sane!

Lawyer 1:
We do reject more than half of those who approach us for our service. Hardly slavery? Though I must admit, it sucks getting 0.5% of the meat……..sigh….i should have been a banker…..

Banker 2:
I rest my case. You admitted that you would rather be a banker. So much so for lawyers making a case!! ;-)

Lawyer 1:
I only said that to make you happy. Us lawyers know their audience ;-)

Banker 2:
You lost a case to make an audience happy!!! I thought lawyers hold on to their stand and win the case. You threw in the towel buddy, that too in writing and with numerous witnesses. That is what makes bankers different. We fight and we win. If not on the buy side then on the sell side

Lawyer 1:
What makes bankers different is that they love to think they've won ...even when they've not. What makes lawyers who they are is they know they've won, they don't need to shout it out, they keep the money, smile and go on to the next client. Not everyone though, cause some of them only take on the most discerning....

Accountant turned Banker:
That’s exactly the point. Lawyers keep far toooooo much money

Lawyer 1:
Say there Sir….you are coming now….when I the fort needed your help..you absconded eh!

Banker 1:
Hey I didn’t think lawyers needed help to hold the fort…that’s what the money is for!

Lawyer 1:
But most of the money goes to the bankers…that is the problem you see ;-)

Banker 2:
And they do not even have to work as much as the lawyers do! Now no wonder bankers are profit centres and lawyers cost centres ;-)
