It was a tough year but we made it!

Someone sent me this email the other day and I thought it was rather funny and decided I'd share it. 


It was a tough year but we made it! But not everyone is as lucky as we are......

• 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?"
  
• CEOs 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 childrens' 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.
