A friend back home in England just told me a great story about an amusement park in Suffolk in Southern England that has introduced a new game called Whack a Banker. It’s based on the old game Whack a Mole, and basically punters pay 40p (about 65c) so they can bash as many bankers on the head as possible in 30 seconds. It’s proving so popular the owner says he has to keep replacing worn out mallets.
He also said: “The bankers are all bald and all look the same because that’s how I think people see bankers – as faceless.”
You couldn’t make this up.
Check out the video.
And even if you win, the banker comes on and thanks you for generously funding his retirement.
