“Citi North America Markets is raising money for the Police & Fire Widows’ & Childrens’ Benefit Fund- with an official food eating challenge. From an email sent today to all markets employees (Fixed Income, Equities, Commodities, Currencies)…”
“In honor of our police men and women, the week of October 10th brings a donut eating contest. Each trading floor owns a day that week to help raise money for the cause.”
The rules aren’t entirely clear but it seems like the challenge will be your choice of 50 donut holes or whoever eats the most holes in 15 minutes.
Only reason I would step foot in Citi
Bess, I was about to comment "Feast or Famine around here" and this happens to be the first article?
Not the first time donuts have been distributed at Citi this year
"whoever eats the most holes in 15 minutes" = new event at the 2012 Porn-lympics
Everything in the news today is either Wall Street protests or Steve Jobs. With all due respect to SJ, I've had my fill of both.
This is Copist. Someone at Citi needs to examine their motives.
Where do I sign up?

Too slow to the draw, hombre.
i was thinking more along line of the Feast, Famine, Food Challenge coincidence.
STOP TEMPTING ME!!! YOU KNOW I'M OFF CARBS!!!
Hey Mike, according to the timeline, you are about 13 minutes late.
Fucking corrupt banksters buying the NYPD with doughnuts….

Soup to nuts, Bess's inbox is a god damn national treasure!
I would have expected something more creative out of Vik like a pakora eating contest.
I am, however, much more fond of her 'outbox'
"The rules aren’t entirely clear…."
I didn't know Dodd-Frank had a section on eating challenges.
Just because it's for charity, that doesn't mean it ought to be fat-tax exempt.
Don't worry, there will be a new commission to clear things up by promulgating 174 pages of regs.
zing!
MM only needs 2 minutes to eat the most doughnut holes…
That's disgusting
i know about filling holes, than all you clowns

What do monks have to do with donuts?
–AIG Egypt & Middle East Religions Quant
For a moment there I thought the contestants were the cops…
Maybe donuts holes would be more appropriate. You know, zero's especially during bonus time.
Citi & Wollensky
Oooh…Dodd Frank humor. I knew I loved you for good reason.
UBS had a similar contest – it was who could lose the most money the fastest.
Who ordered the Boston Creme?
- P. North
Not through trading though, they were all given $500 cash and had to lose the actual paper money. Most took it and quit.
We already have a Joke Briefer here, son, and he knows when he ain't needed.

Have you ever actually seen a donut? If so, have you realized how similar to the number "0" they look?
come visit us tonight… 2 for 1 special
Beamer's Marketing Manager
I only eat the filled kind….
An eating contest? Apparently he prefers being known as Wide Chops.
Are we going to get a legit article today or what?
out?
Mr. Scorpio says productivity is up 2%, and it's all because of my motivational techniques, like donuts and the possibility of more donuts to come.
-H.S.
WTF are donut holes???! Ohhh you mean TIMBITS!
Funny with just the right amount of pretentiousness. Touché.
Begging on your knees in DC for taxpayer money to pay your bonus is the NKI.
I've noticed Peter North has become a regular on this site. Hi Pete, nice to have you.
Ok, no cream.
