A dutiful bank manager:- Afghani General An Afghani military General walked into a bank with six armed soldiers demanding to see the Bank Manager. The attendant saw the armed men and the angry look in the General's face and with shaking hands pointed at the Manager's office. They all angrily entered the Manager's office without knocking or talking to secretary. The Manager wanted to scream at these rude men but he saw their guns and simmered down. Then the General said to the man, "We are aware that your bank does hide money for some corrupt Arab military officials, we want their names." The Bank Manager replied with sweat gushing through his face, "I am sorry, Sir, but we can't disclose our transactions with our customers." The General brought his revolver and pointed it at the Bank Manager and said, "No more Mr. Nice Guy. You have the count of five to talk, or I'll blow your brains all over the office. 5." The Bank Manager's legs were shaking as he replied, "I am sorry, Sir, the names of our customers are confidential." "4" "I beg of you, Sir, I have a wife and three kids." "I want their names. 3." The Bank Manager had not realized he had peed and messed his pants. "Have mercy on me." "The names, 2." "It's against the bank's policy, Sir, please don't kill me," the man cried out with tears in his eyes. "1." The bank manager closed his eye to see death and when he opened his eyes he saw the General smiling and saying, "General Smith was right about the bank manager that doesn't talk. Boys, send in the bags!" The other soldiers brought in bags of money for the General to put in the bank. After they left the bank manager made a phone call, "Mr. President, we have some more Taliban funds that need to be seized. I love being known as the Bank Manager that doesn't talk, but it is sure rough on my suits!"
