Oh well, while we're picking on the economy, might as well throw these in, too. These are some very important answers to the question, "How bad IS the economy?" 

Our economy is so bad ...

1. When I bought a toaster oven, they gave me a bank.
2. I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
3. CEOs are now playing miniature golf.
4. Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars are trading higher than GM.
5. McDonald's is going to start selling the quarter ouncer.
6. Rich folks are firing their nannies, and (gasp!) learning their children's names.
7. The most highly-paid job now is jury duty.
8. Motel Six isn't leaving its lights on anymore.
9. The Mafia is laying off judges.
10. If the bank returns a check marked "insufficient funds," you have to call to see if they meant you ...  or them.

OK, that's enough of this pre-written stuff. I'm gonna sign clear with y'all and come back to you live and in person next Wednesday. Until then, take care of yourselves. And each other.

A coin saved is a government oversight.
