    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.
    • Congress is looking into the Bernie Madoff scandal Oh, great!!  The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!
