Hello, my name is John Thain.I’m chairman of Merrill Lynch.
We lost $11 billion this year.
It could have been a lot more,
but I’m awfully smart.

So I want a $10 million bonus to thank me for doing such a good job.

I guess I won’t take any bonus this year.
(But don't worry ... you can really thank me next year.)
