    Not original with me, but funny--

    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.

    The economy is so bad Hugh Hefner hired Janet Reno as next month's centerfold.

    The economy is so bad Al Gore really did have to ride a bicycle.

    The economy is so bad there are no more church pot lucks and most preachers are under 200 lbs.

    ... that there is an Oil Rush in the Gulf of Mexico.
    ... that Silver and Scout suddenly became leary of the thinning cheeks of the Lone Ranger and Tonto.
    ... that "hot dogs" suddenly became much bigger.
    ... that Popeye told Wimpy he would gladly pay him Tuesday for a thimble of spinach today.
    ... that Yogi Bear no longer seeks pic-a-nic baskets because he is afraid it is a trap to put him in one.

    "Laugh out loud funny," folks. Keep it coming!

    Here in Japan, the economy is so bad that:

    Sumo wrestlers are dieting.
    The Tokyo government actually laid off a bureaucrat!
    Missionaries are telling people the internet addresses of their tracts.
    The yakuza (mafia) are shaking down kids for their lunch money.
    Japanese cars are using American parts.
