12 indications of a bad economy

#1 Post by ulysses5019 » Wed Jun 24, 2009 10:04 pm

12. CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

11. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail..

10.. I went to buy a toaster oven and they gave me a bank.

9. Hotwheels and Matchbox car companies are now trading higher than GM in the stock market.

8. Obama met with small businesses - GE, Pfizer, Chrysler, Citigroup and GM, to discuss the Stimulus Package.

7. McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

6 People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and are learning
their children's names.

5. The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.

4. People in Africa are donating money to Americans.
Mothers in Ethiopia are telling their kids, "finish your food;
do you know how many kids are starving in America ?"

3. Motel Six won't leave the lights on.

2. The Mafia is laying off judges.

And my most favorite indicator of all.

1. If the bank returns your check marked as "insufficient funds," you have to call them and ask if they meant you or them.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

11 More Indications of a Bad Economy:

11. Wives are having sex with their husbands because they can't afford batteries.

10. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

9. A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.

8. I saw a polygamist with only one wife.

7. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.

6. A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

5. A picture is now only worth 200 words.

4. When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room.

3. The Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.

2. 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...

1. I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. 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.
Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.
