It Was a Tough Year, But I Made It!

Will Work 4 FoodIt was a tough 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.

- When the bank returned my check marked "Insufficient Funds," I called them and asked if they meant them or me.

- 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 were caught sneaking into Mexico.

- Motel 6 won't leave the light on anymore.

- BP Oil 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 Hotline 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.
