Good joke, by Davos standards. Wish it didn't appear right before the following in Friedman's column:

". . . we’re going to have to get used to a loss of trust. All those rock-solid people and institutions that we trusted with our money, our pensions and our kids’ piggybank savings — like Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, Bank of America — do not seem trustworthy anymore. Never before in my adult life have I looked around at every bank in my town and said, 'I’m not sure I wouldn’t prefer to put my paycheck in a mattress.'"
