It was a tough year, but I made it!!!

It was a tough year, but I made it !!!      But not everyone is as lucky as I am......  - 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 Life line 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.
