It's Been a Rough Year, But

It's been a rough 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.

Exxon-Mobil 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.
