"DickFuld" As blissfully unaware as some of us on 9/14/2008.

It is the last day of summer 2018 and the gang are wrapping up one last day in Italy before the flight back to JFK.

As pictured;

  • Janet Yellen, just out of the frame off to the left side, trying to leave her shift before we know she was there. Don't act like we didn't all just see you... Who is going to drive everyone back to the airport? ECB has't even gotten a learners permit yet.

  • JP Morgan striking a pose and showing off her hot gym body. Can't show too much skin though because she isn't that easy, besides, these days she is out of your league anyway.

  • Goldman Sachs dressed down in some khakis as if she has just moved to Silicon Valley. Those khakis are super tight too. Maybe it is to make those fintech bitches jealous or maybe it is because she knows what a total milf she still is.

  • Morgan Stanley stands pensively in the middle. The intent was to dress conservatively and blend in to avoid unwanted attention from frat boys but nobody dresses like that around here anymore.

  • RBC is taking a picture with their ipad because on the way over someone took the wrong phone in the car. They stand by just a little too close to the smoke contemplating the meaning of life and why they just can't seem to get their feet on the ground.

  • Citi and BAML are front and center still playing and still trying to get under par.

Not pictured;

  • UBS and Credit Suisse are building a moat to save themselves behind the smoke.
  • Barclays called mom and left the party early to hang out with HSBC and her Brexit friends. You won't ever see these friends in person though, allegedly they go to a different school.
  • Don't bother looking for Deutsche Bank, they are somewhere in the smoke trying desperately to call for help but they accidentally took RBC's phone in the car and can't get a dial tone because the bill hasn't been paid in a while...

Viva Hawai'i

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
 

Cool guys don't look at explosions, they blow things up and play golf.

“I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.” ― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye
 

That moment when your late night taco bell order catches up to you on the back 9.

"Who am I? I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy."
 

While President Trump attended his 197th golf outing since taking office, a bad lie after a 50 yard tee shot prompted his request for an airstrike at the ball location, allowing for a re-drop due to the man-made obstacle created.

He finished the day shooting 116 from the red tees, a personal best.

“I’m not fat. I’m cultivating mass.”
