Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for March 13, 2016
Transcript:
Goat: What are you doing, Rat? Rat: I developed an app. Goat: What does it do? Rat: Well, whenever your bank charges you some stupid fee for something, you just tap this little button here. Goat: That's great. And what does it do? Send a complaint to your local branch? Find a bank that doesn't charge those fees? Rat: No. It summons a herd of bunnies that parachute in and eat the banks C.E.O. Goat; Apps probably shouldn't eat humans. Rat: Are C.E.O.'s human? Pig: Nuts. The bank charged me a C.E.O. consumption fee.

By the way, my Credit Union doesn’t charge a bunch of crazy fees, and what they do charge- well, as a member I’m also a stock holder. If you’re still using a bank, you got no one to blame but yourself.

Well at least the CEO is as ‘fee’ as a bird.

You know what would be a really great app?A “Telemarketer Doomsday App”When ever you get one of those annoying calls you could launch the app and it would find its way back to their system. It would take over their OS lurking in the background until they have run a backup and then erase their files (I mean erase not delete) and then fry the electronics.

My bank does not charge an ATM fee, anywhere, anytime. Technically, they absorb the fees from foreign ATMs, but it’s all the same to me. No fees! And, no, there is no monthly fee, either.

A valid app, Rat, but imagine if the animals in question were even more vicious.

When we closed out of BofA, they wanted to know why. I told my wife she should have said, “We’re tired of doing business with a bank whose CEO makes 400 times what you make.”

Sounds like Wells Fargo. I had free checkin g for over 10 years, it was supposed to be lifetime. I was imformed that I had to keep a $5000 balance if I wanted it to continue to be free.
That was not what I was promised, I will never deal with them again.

Carnivorous rabbits would be much cuter than zombies. Much scarier, though. At least zombies don’t reproduce like bunnies.
