Today the former banking bosses of RBS and HBOS were tested on their arithmetic abilities and problem-solving skills.
Unfortunately, since few of them actually had banking experience or qualifications, it all got a bit tricky.
Reportedly asked if they were sorry they couldn't count, they blamed their parents and the state of the education system.
"If I'd had my five-a-day I probably wouldn't have got in this mess." said one.
"They might have made some incredibly stupid mistakes but at least one of them is actually still being paid £60000 in consultancy fees." said one insider, "So who's the stupid ones?"
Subsequently there might be an enquiry as to why the Treasury Committee forgot how to ask hard questions.
