Just HOW bad is the economy?
JUST HOW BAD IS THE ECONOMY?


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.



The economy is so bad 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.



The economy is so bad parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.



The economy is so bad 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; and



...Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 congressmen

8. Awesome! The economy is so bad, PayPal auto approved me to buy now,
and pay later...., they lied. It was declined since I only wanted to charge $25.
