Lehman Fetish

http://news.hereisthecity.com/news/business_news/…

Yeah... Looks like an April Fool's joke because of the date of the article (and the ending makes it obvious). But it was fun reading anyway:

52-year-old April Duper, from Queens, falsely claims she is an illegitimate granddaughter of Herbert Lehman, one of the three founders of modern Lehman Brothers. Attending court in her Lehman scarf and cuff links (which she proudly told the judge she bought by the box load off eBay), Ms Duper confirmed that she 'cracked' when her dinner guest said something derogatory about Fuld. 'I do not love him', she said coyly, 'But he is a handsome devil, don't you think ?'. The judge did not respond.

'And do you still go to the Lehman building ?'.

'No', Ms Duper replied frostily, 'I used to go there and just stare at it. That Lehman signage really did it for me. I have thousands of photos of that building. Dick Fuld even bumped into me on his way out once'.

'And did he stop to speak to you ?'.

'Yes', Ms Duper said proudly.

'What did he say ?'

'He kind of growled: 'Get the f..k out out the way!' And he touched me!'.

'He touched you ?'

'Well, he pushed me actually. He pushed me out of the way. He's so masculine. I've still got the dress I was wearing that day, you know. In fact, I'm wearing it now!', she gushed.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
