American Banker has named Jamie Dimon the Banker of the Year, for obvious reasons. They include: running a bank that didn’t have its ass handed to it, being Obama’s favorite, allowing employees to celebrate the birth of Christ/awkwardly grope each other, general hotness, and not being the guy running the firm where they fertilize eggs in the basement for the sole purpose of destroying the embryos* (ixnay on the aldybay). Normally, we would be happy about any honor bestowed on the boy-toy CEO this one we cannot get behind, given that last year’s recipient was Ken Lewis, who put a curse on the thing. So thank you, AB, but no thanks. We’re good here. You can have this one back.
*One of the lesser known secrets to their success.

Bess, does Divé know about this?
Is she OK?
@7 she’s breathlessly penning a note to clients as we speak about how KL should’ve gotten this two years in a row.
I should’ve gotten this again. I think I outdid myself this year.

I told him I’d be glad to kiss his balls “for luck” before an important tournament. He looked at me, all cute in his little logo-ed footie pajamas and said, “You know, I’ve heard every “ball” joke that can be told about golfers and golf games…..they bore me, just like you are starting to do.”
I decided to add my name on my cell phone number so it would show up when I called him. You don’t disrespect a Waffle House waitress no matter who you are.
Right after that picture of JD was taken he put his hands under his armpits and then smelled them. Once a geek always a geek.
20=anti-semite.

Stu Nahan: “Hello everybody! I’m Stu Nahan, and I’d like you to meet this young man. His name, Jeff Spicoli. And Jeff, congratulations to you. Things looked kind of rough out there today.”
Jeff Spicoli: “Well, I’ll tell you Stu, I did battle some humongous waves! But you know, just like I told the guy on ABC, ‘Danger is my business!’”
