  • 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.

  • 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.
