Some Humor about a Bad Economy
Dec 6, 2018 07:38:12 #
When finances get bad, look at the funny side.
THE GLOBAL RECESSION
The recession has hit everybody really hard.
My neighbour got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
Wives are having sex with their husbands because they can't afford batteries.
CEO's are now playing miniature golf.
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.
I saw a Mormon with only one wife.
If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.
Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.
My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, and they re-possessed her!
A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.
A picture is now only worth 200 words.
The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.
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 Hotline. I got a call centre in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

At the risk of turning this funny post into an attic thread, let me throw in some facts - it was VERY bad when Obama was elected (remember the housing and banking crisis?) and pretty damn good when he left. This administration has been in for less than 2 years, but if you believe the rhetoric, they’re the ones who “fixed” the economy. Really?
