"Heard the one about the dead banker?" by Pete Cashmore

The Guardian lays out some banker jokes, in solidarity with Vince Cable, who got told off for telling this joke recently:

'What's the difference between a dead cat on the motorway and a dead banker on the motorway? There are skidmarks around the cat."
I found it curious that I know most of the jokes on the list, but I know them as lawyer jokes. The best on the list, tho, is one I hadn't heard before:

A man is stuck in traffic. He asks a police officer about the hold-up and he replies: "The head of the Bank Of England is so depressed about the economy he's stopped his car and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. So we're taking up a collection for him." The man asks: "How much have you got so far?" The policeman replies: "About 40 gallons, but a lot of people are still siphoning."
