Which Bank is the Best?

Which bank is the BEST - ICICI, HSBC or Barclays? *

One day, three bankers, one from HSBC, one from ICICI and one from Barclays, went out for a walk.

"Why don't we prove who is the best among ourselves?"    

Why not, said the other two.

The ICICIian said "Let's have a test. Whoever makes this monkey laugh, works for the best firm".

Being a pure logical strategist, the person from Barclays tried to make the monkey Laugh by telling jokes. The monkey stayed still.

As a more practical banker, the HSBC guy tried to make funny gestures... No good, the monkey stayed put...

Now, comes the ICICIian. Being the practical guy he was always trained to be, he whispered something into the monkey's ear, and it burst out laughing at him..

The other two were astonished. So the HSBC guy said "OK, let's take another test. Let's make this monkey cry!!"

So there they went again, applying the same methods as before. The Barclays guy narrated sad stories, the HSBC guy made sad gestures, and they failed again...

Then, the ICICIian again whispered something into the monkey's ear and oh! It started crying, patting the ICICIian's shoulder!

The other two just could not believe their eyes! So the Barclays guy said "OK, you've won twice. If you can win just this one, we will bow to you. Let's make this monkey run".

And he barked at the monkey and ordered him to run. Of course, it stayed where it was.. The HSBC guy, true to his type, pushed and prodded the monkey- still No go.

So...here comes ICICIian, again, and whispers into the monkey's ear. The Monkey just takes off! It runs and runs as fast as it can, as if it was scared to death!

The other two surrendered.

They Said: "OK, we give up.

You're the best among us, and you work for the Best firm of the three. But please, please tell us your secret," they begged him.
 
"Well", said the ICICIian , "The first time I made it laugh, I told I work for ICICI . The next time, I told the monkey how much I get paid ...so it started crying.  

And then I told him that I was here for recruitment !!!
