The recession has hit everybody really hard...

My neighbor got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

CEO's are now getting their business done while playing miniature golf.

Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.

I saw a Mormon with only one wife.

The bank returned my check marked "Insufficient Funds," I had to call them and ask if they meant my funds or theirs.

McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

Angelina Jolie and Brad adopted a child from America.

Parents in Beverly Hills have had to fire their nannies and learn their children's names.

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

A picture is now only worth 200 words.

When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room.

And finally....

I became so depressed about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they asked if I could drive a truck.

    "How much do you think Senators make? They now make $154,700 a year. But they say it will stimulate the economy because eventually that money will trickle down to the liquor stores, the hookers, the brothels ... then it will get back in the community." —Jay Leno
