BS: How bad is your economy?

The economy is so bad...
I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
CEO's are now playing miniature golf.
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
I saw a Mormon with only one wife.
I bought a toaster oven and my free gift was a bank.
Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.
Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.
A picture is now only worth 200 words.
They are going to rename Wall Street " Wal-Mart Street."
When Bill and Hillary travel together, they have to share a room.
The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.
There are members of the GOP thinking legalizing pot might help the economy.
I got so depressed last night thinking about politics, the economy, wars, my job, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc. that I called the Suicide Hot-line. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I felt suicidal they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck...

Our politicians keep telling us that the Country owes Billions (National deficit).
Every other National leader and government says their country owes Billions.
Who is it they ALL owe it to?
Either they all owe it to each other - England owes USA, USA owes France, France owes Germany, Germany owes England... Why can't we just cancel it all out?
OR
Everyone owes Bill Gates (or similar) - why can't we all just tell him where to stick his bill?
It's none of it REAL money - it's invented by bankers and politicians. Why can't we just string them ALL up and go back to bartering?
Quack!
GtD.

On Saturday nights my wife makes her speciality for all of us.

It's called "Diluted Water Soup".
Three parts tap water,
One part diluted water,
A dash of salt and pepper,"to taste".
Pour "contents"into large saucepan,mix well and bring to the boil.
Leave to simmer for two hours,serve while hot.
She learned this from her mother during the Balkan wars.
