Somebody Save These Barclays First Years!

Emergency mailbag:

About 40 Barclays S&T first years, all wearing Barclays T-shirts, are stuck in a broken down bus in the middle lane of an expressway somewhere in the vicinity of the Brooklyn bridge. They were on their way back from an end-of-training community service trip. Barclays has dispatched 15 black cars to pick up the Barclettes but the resulting traffic jam is so severe that none are getting through. The poor Barclettes are sweating it out Sanford style in a metal box with no air conditioning.

    c’mon, nothing emanating from barclays is worthy of 6 sirens…that said, I did love the line: “sweating it out Sanford style”. well done.

    @9 – I think you’re getting that confused with being killed by it, it being the metal box.

    Agree with @5… definitely not worth 6 sirens. Their towncars will get them soon enough, albeit it is muggy as hell outside.

    This would’ve never happened under Lehman’s umbrella. There’d be a goddamned helicopter stringing down ropes, army style, to get those young cadets out of harm’s way.

    @13 true story.
    @12 have you not noticed that DB tends to put the sirens up in jest?

    They better be careful not to sweat through those shirts… That’s about half of their bonus this year.

    can’t they just walk a quarter of mile to the manhattan side and catch a cab? don’t think is asking for too much since they don’t have to go underground

    20,
    Spiderman is in heaven, of course, casting a web of hammock for Bella to rest her tired hide upon. Have you no fucking decency?

    I guess they’re going to have to cut out the forced volunteer service. I thought that went out when Gregory was shown the door.

    DB should send Greg over on his bike with some bottles of water
