Flattr this!

The Econ­o­my, How Bad Is It?
The econ­o­my is so bad:
That I got a pre-declined cred­it card in the mail.
I ordered a burg­er at McDon­alds and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”
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.
McDon­alds is sell­ing the 1/4 ounc­er.
Par­ents in Bev­er­ly Hills have fired their nan­nies and learnt their chil­dren’s names.
T truck­load of Amer­i­cans was caught sneak­ing into Mex­i­co.
Dick Cheney took his stock­bro­ker hunt­ing.
The Mafia is lay­ing off judges.
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Con­gress­men.
And final­ly
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!

In the spir­it of “we all need a laugh”, this list of jokes is doing the rounds in the USA:

The econ­o­my is so bad that:

  • I got a pre-declined cred­it card in the mail.
  • I ordered a burg­er at McDon­alds 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.
  • McDon­alds is sell­ing the 1/4 ounc­er.
  • Par­ents in Bev­er­ly Hills have fired their nan­nies and learnt their chil­dren’s names.
  • A truck­load of Amer­i­cans was caught sneak­ing into Mex­i­co.
  • Dick Cheney took his stock­bro­ker hunt­ing.
  • The Mafia is lay­ing off judges.
  • Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Con­gress­men.

And final­ly one I don’t agree with, but in the inter­ests of com­plete­ness:

  • 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!

“Boom boom”, as they used to say in Vaude­ville.
