Our friends over at Cityfile point out that when if Bank of America buys Lehman Brothers they'll also get a pretty sweet jet.
"[The] Bombardier BD-700 Global Express is super-sweet ride. And it's the same exact model that Oprah has," Ciytfile reports.

Well, why don't you just email the woman and tell her you are her dream boat?
The advertiser reminds me of Edna(emailed joke):
The Love Story of Ralph and Edna:
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're be ing discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?'
Happy Mental Health Day!
You can do your bit by remembering to send this email to all of your unstable friends.
Have a great day!!

@9 - One of the few constants in an ever-changing universe is that single women over 30 who love cats are to be avoided at all costs regardless of how good looking they may be. Emotional basket cases...
Posted by JorgeCad , Sep 12, 2008 4:11PM
LEH collapse is entirely due to it's arrogant boss. Dick Fuld simply overstated his self-worth and that of an independant I-Bank. I am told, by an RBC guy who eye-balled their book, that he was very simply deluded.
Do hope things work out for all my friends over at LEH.

No federal money for a Lehman deal? LEHM needs to merge with Mayo and Sham-wow in order to survive.

An "assistant" chick, over 40, sent out amusing pictures of her cat's, across the whole email system along with some stupid joke (like #14). It ended with "Have a great day!!".
I went to her boss and argued for her dismissal along with most of the office.
I work in this industry so i never have to hear "have a great day!!" - it makes me want to punch the speaker of this utterly stupid, devoid of meaning, phrase!!

SHORT SENDERS OF FIRM WIDE EMAILS (this is taken from longorshortcapital.com)
Every firm has an alias that represents everyone of the firm — you send an intra-office email to this address and everyone in the firm gets it. Every office also has an amazing amount of people who think it’s a good idea EVER to send a non-work related email to the entire firm:
Hey all:
I’m registering for the Save Hot Boobs from Cancer Strip-off for Charity and anyone sponsoring me would be greatly appreciated! I get paid for every hot boob I am able to hit with a nerf gun and I have been training hard for months. I think I can raise a lot of money for charity if you can only spare some money. Especially you, Bill, I saw your bonus and it was enough to buy a vacation home in northern Spain, so I think you can spare a few bucks for hot boobs.
Signed,
Herman Resourcier[ed note: this signature would be in size 15 of Scripty Font San-Serif and probably in light blue hue]
or
Found a cubic zirconium earring on floor 48, if yours please contact:
Irina Techzocova ext 10007
If not please ignore this email I sent to everyone including the managing partner.
This has astounded me since the very first day of my professional life. In firms ranging from 50 to 1000+ employees, I have received hundreds of firm-wide emails containing attempts to sell tickets to a Christina Aguilera concert, messages about lost $5-10 value items, assorted solicitations for ineffectual charities, accidental pornographic emails, and invitations to parties. This does not even count the incessant HR and IT notices that have been on minutiae so small that they had no need to be sent to the whole firm, yet were sent anyways so that those respective departments could maintain the theater that they are not cipher-ladens pools of mediocrity.
Recommendation: Short anyone who think it’s a good idea to send a non-work related firm-wide email in a 100+ person firm. They will never achieve above average returns because they have negative common sense.
Here is an easy to follow guide on when you should send a non-work related firm-wide email:
Never or
Only with the explicit direction and approval of someone who is your boss’s boss.
ps - don't work for leh and not a man!

Damn privacy laws.... I wonder who or what GX is...

@45: The plane is a Global eXpress.
Posted by guest , Sep 13, 2008 8:41AM
Yeah, Df ordered the purchase of plane for the 'firm' in the under-the-radar period following Sept 11...seem to recall that it was available for shopping trips, vacas., etc. Nothing new.
