“A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don’t need it.”

-Bob Hope

In light of the financial crisis at hand and because I am a banker … this quote that I ran across today hit my funny bone. Thus, I thought I’d share it with y’all. Even though the current state of our lending institutions suggests that this statement is, in fact, sadly far from true – still, it’s a comedic way to look at the lending process from a consumer point of view.
