I meant to post this whimsical quote from Robert Benchley a couple of weeks ago
On April 7, 1904, the vault in the Lazybones National Bank & Fiduciary trust of Illville, Illinois, was blown off, & if there had been anything in there worth taking away, it could easily have been done. As it was, the vault contained nothing but 100 shares of Goldman Sachs, & the robbers, instead of taking these, added 200 more shares of their own & made their getaway, leaving the bank stuck with 300 shares instead of 100
I was going to add that, in our day, the equivalent of shares in the mighty Goldman Sachs would be sub prime mortgage deeds
Now, I am not so sure
