Bailout

Heute in der New York Times:

A conversation on the subway:
A well-dressed man behaved rather strange and a middle-aged woman who was sitting below him on the bench asked him if he was all right and wanted to sit down. Apparently she thought he was going to throw up and she was concerned.
Turns out he was a stockbroker on his way to Wall Street and he was having an anxiety attack. He apologized and said: "I'm sorry but I lost about $200 million dollars over the last five weeks, and it's getting to me." To which the lady below him smiled slightly and replied in rather blasé fashion: "So has everyone else on this subway car, but they aren't getting bailed out. Have a Diet Coke. It help a lot."
