Title: The Economy
Post by: Mano on September 11, 2010, 12:58:26 PM

 It was a tough year, but I made it !!!

 
But not everyone is as lucky as I am......

 
The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined

credit card in the mail.

 
I ordered a burger at McDonald's, and the kid
 behind the counter asked,  "Can you afford fries with that?"

 

 CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

 

 If the bank returns your check marked  "Insufficient

Funds," you have to call them and ask if they mean you or them .

 

Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

 

 McDonald's is selling the 1/4  'ouncer'.

 

Parents in Beverly Hills and Malibu are firing their

nannies and learning their children's names.

 

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

 

Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

 

Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

 

The Mafia is laying off judges.

 

BP Oil laid off 25 Congressmen.

 

Congress says they are looking into the Bernard

Madoff scandal.  Oh Great!!   The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being

investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

 

                            And, finally...

                             

I was so depressed last night thinking about the

economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds,
 and our

bleak future, that I called the Suicide Lifeline and was connected to a call

center in Pakistan.   When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and

asked if I could drive a truck.



 :D

I was going to say something, I was good with the OP until I read the part about the suicide thing and Pakistan. It's all good, though. I cooled down considerably.  :)
