Have you ever noticed that in just about every major and minor city in America the largest buildings are bank buildings? They didn't get big by being nice and polite to their "clients" either. I've always liked what Harry Truman said about banks..."they will loan you money when you can prove you don't really need it!" Kinda sums up what they still do.

Yeah...but the best looking ones are the funeral homes.

bankers have the least at risk and the greatest opportunity to really wreck your business....

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you there. What sums up banks today is that they have trained their people to SELL, SELL, SELL. Your friendly neighborhood banker no longer cares about your needs. He cares about the commissions the bank gets for selling investments.
