Moderators John317 Posted December 14, 2010 Moderators Posted December 14, 2010 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 have to call them and ask if they mean 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 and Malibu are firing their nannies and learning 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. 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 Lifeline 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. Quote John 3:16-17 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

Moderators John317 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Moderators Posted December 14, 2010 I especially like the last one, although it's a reminder of the sad situation in Europe now. I just read a news item that said the Muslim extremists are threatening more suicide bombings of Europe if the Swedes don't pull their troops out of Afghanistan. The last man who blew himself to bits was a husband and father. Fortunately his bomb blew him up outside the store and not inside it.

Moderators John317 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Moderators Posted December 14, 2010 [if we can't laugh at ourselves once in awhile, we're pretty bad off.] Yeah, and if we don't laugh at it, we'd probably go crazy or die or both.
