Over at our sibling site Above the Law, editor David Lat wonders, “Is the difference between a banker and a lawyer access to orifices?” based on the assertion by dominatrix Mistress Victoria X that “finance guys usually want things in their asses,” whereas lawyers do not. This got me wondering:

Sorry, meant to add “bitches” to my comment @4:14
Hope everyone’s surviving because there is a lot more wood to chop out there. Make friends and duck bitches…

A lawyer will give you credit; a banker won’t.
End of an era. Does this mean he didn’t want to be caught voting “yea” or “nay” on the merger?
I think the survey should be updated to account for the lawyers who read dealbreaker. We would hate to skew the results with answers of “No, I wouldn’t” or “Yes, I already have” (the latter because, as a previous commenter aptly stated on an earlier post: “lawyers already take it up the ass on a daily basis from bankers, so they probably get their fill in the office”).
In other news (Spitzer related):

Is the extra $4.75mm what passes for a golden parachute these days? Ouch. You Wall Street boys have really lost your luster.
A banker and a lawyer go to the funeral of an old friend. The banker pulls out a $100 dollar bill and drops it in the coffin. Then, the banker tells the lawyer, “I want him to have some spending money “on the other side” don’t you?…” The lawyer nods in agreement.
As the banker walks away, the lawyer reaches into the coffin, pulls out the C-note and writes the deceased a check for $200.
Lawyer? Banker? Whore? Not any difference really. Somebody’s gonna get it in the ass eventually. And since most all of ‘em are working for somebody else, you are all gonna bend over for somebody else. Spread ‘em wide for da man! Have you all got your TPS reports finished? Right…
where are random banker and anal_yst? given that big daddy cayne sold right after the $10 offer from jd, does that mean the numbskulls pushing the stock price above $11 are smoking crack? just askin’…
Difference between a lawyer and a banker? Too easy.
One tells you exactly what he going to do to you and the other doesn’t.

that was a lame ass joke @4:42
Right here, just saw the news, been busy this week…Wonder how much the house in Deal, NJ is worth (considering the Plaza pad just ate up 1/2 (pretax) of his stock sale and all
Main difference between a lawyer and a banker. Bankers all got multi-hundred thousand dollar bonuses last year. Lawyers still have jobs.
@4:52 that was profound… insightful…you seem like a real bright fella..maybe i could hire you to clean out my trash can
I’m a dude
@4:46 and 4:55 You both can dish it out, but can’t stand the truth. Boo Hooo. Bring those a some tissue Tito! Where’s the WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHBULANCE? It’s nice to know that one of you has to let us know you are a dude. Most of us had our doubts.
I’ve been coming here for a couple weeks, in hopes of getting a view of the current financial events direct from Wall Street.
Interesting place.
Good original posts, and the follow-up comments are sorta like “Gawker-meets-Myspace-meets-WallStreet”
I anxiously await the “you-wish-you-had-my bank-statement-you’re-probably-back-office-mullet-boy-BOOYEAH!” responses.
@5:00
what truth are you talking about? and about my name, i’ve been posting here since before you could read. glad you noticed.
I’m a dude
Bess, I’d take it up the ass but only if it was you giving it to me.
you know bess isnt that type of girl
@5:09 The truth that you’re bankers and lawyers are whores. Can’t you read? Your sig is lame. It’s sad you have to actually remind yourself of the fact. I bet you own a microscope too.
I didn’t realise >10% of DB readers worked for Bear Stearns?
@6:05 do you come to this site to insult us. lets take this outside, we’ll see how lame I am.
@ 6:05 I swear I’m not slow, but I don’t understand this sentence: “The truth that you’re bankers and lawyers are whores.” Are you saying that “you are bankers, and lawyers are whores” or “your bankers and lawyers are whores” or just that bankers and lawyers are whores. The first makes very little sense (no point in telling someone he’s a banker without an attached insult), this second only marginal sesnse, and the third is the only logical reading.
Maybe I’m the one who can’t read. Either that or you can’t write. We’ll let the others decide.
@6:21
I agree. I think @6:05 is a recent arrival from south america. paraguay or somewhere. here on a fellowship at Pace University. he prob thinks “bankers” are the tellers at his local Banco popular, and “lawyers” are the guys who run the ads for immigration on the subways. Si hablo esponiol!
I’m not one to generally insult on-line–I find it lame, but I do agree with 6:21. However, I will agree that lawyers are whores, intellectual whores. We will hop in bed with nearly anyone and protect them from the ills of the world if the price is right. And I am oddly comfortable with such a reality.
@6:05/6:21
All Your Bankers And Lawyers Are Belong To Us.
Can’t we agree that we are all whores and just be proud of it? No denying oneself.
The only topic open for debate is whether finance professionals enjoy anal stimulation at a higher incidence than lawyers.
Why does DB attract fucktards (6:21) who seem to have no connection to finance/wall street? It dilutes their brand and Mike’s will not pay high rates to advertise to people who can barely afford a 6-pack of their delicious lemondade.
Fuck I’m retarded. Didn’t mean to call 6:21 a fucktard – that insult was directed to 6:05.
6:21 – please accept my humble apologies.
Anyone have a Lemiwinks I can borrow for my asshole?
The guy with the WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHBULANCE is back. Sir, you’re about as annoying as a Ron Paul supporter.
@ 5:25 — ditto
Would you take it in the ass? On the grass? Would you take it in the lieu, taking poo? Would you take it on a plane, from Jimmy Cayne? Would you take it in the kisser? from Elliot Spitzer?
