BOTTLENOSE dolphins have been installed as executives by several high street banks, it has emerged.
Scientists recently discovered the creatures’ ability to do complex nonlinear mathematics. Dolphins also possess a sense of compassion and appealing facial features, giving them three key advantages over their human banking counterparts.
Tom Logan, head of recruitment at Donnelly-Mcpartlin, said: “The dolphins know instinctively that lending several billion pounds to people with more CCJs than GCSEs is a bad idea and have never financed a single undersea drug cartel.
We had some teething problems with Boko, a 17-year-old male, whos demanded a signing-on bonus of 1.2 million hake to become Investment Manager at Clydesdale Bank.
Theres also been sexual harassment claims filed against another bottlenose we placed at HSBC but we think he was just using his prehensile penis to operate the coffee machine.
Overall though, theyve been a breath of fresh air around the workplace and even when theyre announcing that theyre making hundreds of people redundant, they have such adorable smiles that you dont mind.
The dolphin recruits have been given offices in the docks surrounding Canary Wharf and have communicated their complex fiscal decisions via a series of beach ball bounces and bicycle bulb horn honks.
Logan said: Once the markets are more secure and major decisions can be entrusted to humans again, the banks will simply employ Japanese fishing trawlers to execute a harpoon-based redundancy program.
