Got any personal questions you would like me to answer in my own inimitable way?

Dear Bankguy -
With inflation apparently starting to rear its head, the recovery solid, but not yet having produced the number of jobs that we Americans would like to see (yet unemployment still historically low), and with it being an election year, do you think the Federal Reserve should begin raising rates? Quickly, slowly, not at all? Wait another few months? I would really appreciate your opinion...
Thanks!
Alan G.

Dear Alan G.--
Raise it. Lower it. Keep it the same. Shut down the darn thing. It's all the same to me. Just don't mess with the price of Schlitz and we'll all get along just fine.
Sincerely,
Bankguy

Dear Bankguy,
How on earth can I get a blood stain off the ops manager's chair and carpet?  
Thanks,

Dear Bankguy,
One of my most challenging lenders has taken quite an interest in my car. This morning he was insistent in finding the source of some fluid leak. Yesterday I had to rip him a new one . Is he doing this a some sort of penitence for his transgressions?

Have you tried soaking the blood up with currency?

Bankguy - I need some good comebacks for the answer "because that's the way we have always done it" and "we have never gotten written up for it before". I am rather new to compliance and am already fed up  with these comments. I will take all answers from all posters!!

How about: The Captain of the Titanic always sailed his ships the same way, and you know what happened there...

Mr. Pain
Dear Pain--
Just tell him that you saw his biggest customer having lunch with a lender from your biggest competitor. Tell him they were laughing and having a few drinks. Inform him that as you moved closer you saw them drawing plans for some business venture on a napkin. At the bottom of the napkin you saw this scribbled: Business venture with Michael Dell investing $1.2B; need matching funds.
That'll give him a fluid leak to worry about.
Sincerely,
Bankguy
P.S. You may want to buy a package of Depends before you talk to him.

The Riggs Bank reply when told they were being penalized $25 million for BSA violations. Quote:
Why, "that's the way we have always done it" and "we have never gotten written up for it before".

Dear Bankguy,
Why is your tag line not a good idea?

Dear Chicagoguy--
How should I know!? Why aren't there more "dolls" in the NFL? Surely, they could play for da Bears.
