Signs Of Bad Economy
« on: September 21, 2010, 12:01:36 PM »
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 call them and ask if they meant 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  fired their nannies and learned 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 this 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, etc.,  I called the Suicide Lifeline. I got a call center in  Pakistan  , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

I really needed a laugh today!  The sad part is some of it is so close to the truth it isn't even funny! ;D

Thanks NW, that was good.

The real signs, are... how long I've been without regular work. Looks like a couple small gigs will break in October, but it's ugly out there. That, and I'm in the mood to shoot a couple of divorce lawyers.

I didn't write that last line, in case any prosecutors are looking to build a case. Who logged on as me and wrote that? Not that divorce lawyers don't deserve it...

Well now YT3, we can agree on the lawyer thing. Do most of us a favor, and don't just limit yourself to the divorce lawyers. Lots of targets of oppourtunity out there. gypsyman

I didn't write it gypsy. I would never write that. I don't feel that way. Not a bit. My soon-to-be ex probably logged on as me and wrote it, in order to make me look mean, or something.

....but if someone HAS to get shot, I nominate divorce lawyers. I can think of one in particular.

You have got to be kidding!!  :o

I have been married darn near 30 years(same women to boot) and she has not any passwords of mine, be it bank, e-mail, this site or any similar and we are not contemplating a divorce. I don't have any of hers and don't want them either.

You might want ot check with the boss man here in getting your password changed ASAP.
