It's a play on fractions? LOL Or maybe it's the third bank on fifth street or the fifth bank on third?

Oh too funny!

Just funny to some of us - I wonder where the name came from?

Fifth Third Bank
Established: 1865-01-01
# of Branches: 1373
Total Assets: $114,987,769,000
Deposits: $87,689,894,000
Equity Capital: $15,751,615,000
Domestic Office Deposits: $86,351,148,000
Net Income: $1,244,477,000

My son who went to college in Michigan told me these banks were commonplace there. Said the name is the result of a merger involving the Third Bank and the Fifth Bank. Go figure! ^)^

Soooo, does that now make them the 1.6666666666th bank?

Seems pretty self evident to me. Five thirds of a bank minus 22 degrees plus or minus a got2dogs, carry the gilg and add a third of a feather equals a 10! :^)

LOL, love it Kathy!

If thats the interest rate I'm in!!

The Fifth Thirds in Naples took over the First Nationals!!!

If fifth third took over first - would that be one third of the fifth-which would be more fun than one fifth of a third. (Of course the youngin's don't remember when booze came in US measurements instead of that metric stuff) And if you added Got2Dogs and Gilg72 to the party of the fifth, which added to cowgazer's interest would surely give us EndlessHorizons to contemplate Clabo's rating of any bank at 1.66666666%
...Which with a feather would tickle any bank to be rated that high!

All this math is hurting my head!

I guess everybody took my "go figure" suggestion literally! Have fun, folks; life is too short not to laugh!

Wowser! How'd I get dragged in here?!! I'm lost already soon as I entered.
Guess it would take an accountant like Duane, to even try to tackle this situation, why this is even more baffling than my daughter's College Algebra she was wanting me to help with!
I was on a ladder taking down Xmas decorations, and being careful not to fall on my head. Didn't want it to hurt...Now perhaps it would not have hurt as much as my head hurts now. Part of that not from Brain overexertion, but from laughing so hard! Gotta get off my chair B4 I Fall off!

LOL!! 1st place fun!!! ;-)

Bank of the Ohio Valley(1858)bought by Third National in 1871 which merged with Fifth National. Wow

Quoting llpj04:

HA!  I am with you Charlotte!  What a hoot.

Well, you ALL have a great sense of humor and quick minds! You certainly put a smile on my face!!
Nice shot Kathy and thanks for posting!!

OMG the inmates are ruling the asylum! er... the BANK!!

Such comedy, Kathy!!! I wondered what all the fuss was about, because we have these all around Michigan!! Love it, and all of the math (and anti-math) was over the top hilarious =)

as usual, I'm late to the party!! this is tooooo funny guys!! what a fun day for all! all that math really is 'over the top hilarious James'!!!

They are not where I live, but I hear their commercials on the radio. It took me a long time to figure out what they were saying. I didn't think a bank would really be called Fifth Third. I had to be misunderstanding.

One funny sign. Guess there is humor all around if you just look closely!! A fun, thought provoking shot! Glad so many had fun with it! 10 from SW Iowa

This has been amusing people since I was a newbie in banking many long years ago.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Third_Bank

And be sure to read the "history". Why was Third Fifth rejected? It was during the prohibition era.

Cheers.

What the... five thirds of a bank? :-)

And No One's Mentioned that with "Old Math", it's...
The First and Two Thirds or, 1st and 2/3 Bank.

Or at least that's the way I was taught fractions...LOL
Who can tell me what 'New Math' would give ya?
