In A Nutshell...

They gave their money to Bernie,
And Bernie Madoff with it.

(Sorry - work-whelmed again at NigeCorp...)

  1. Lol. A man in his situation clearly needs a top brief. Step forward the guy mentioned today in the Times: "A man ... posed as a barrister at a series of court hearings after buying his robes and wig on eBay ... During his “very aggressive” appearances on behalf of clients in criminal and civil courts, [he] pretended to be a qualified barrister who had set up his own law chambers and was friendly with leading judges."

    After a fair trial Mr Maddoff can be checked over by one of those brain surgeons who bought their stethoscope in a car boot sale, sentenced by James Robertson Justice and sent to a prison run by Mr Bridger and Fulton Mackay. It's all about fraud these days.

  2. Yes indeed Mark - and it all bears out my long-held suspicion that nobody has a clue what they're doing any more - even the crooks...

  3. Everybody seems to be at it and those of us foolish enough to stay honest are certain to pay the price. What with all the nepotism, backhanders, family connections, dodgy deals, and the voting on Strictly Come Dancing: we're clearly doomed.

  4. Very good, Nige, though I think it might be slightly catchier as:

    They gave their money to Bernie,
    And Bernie Madoff with their money.


    Gives it a good playground ring.
