The top twelve indicators that the economy is bad--
- CEO's are now playing miniature golf.
- I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.
- I went to buy a toaster oven and they gave me a bank.
- Hot wheels and Matchbox car companies are now trading higher than GM in the stock market.
- Obama met with small businesses - GE, Pfizer, Chrysler, Citigroup and GM, to discuss the Stimulus Package.
- McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
- The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.
- People in Africa are donating money to Americans. Mothers in Ethiopia are telling their kids, "finish your bannana; do you know how many kids are starving in America?"
- Motel Six won't leave the lights on.
- The Mafia is laying off judges and politicians.
And my most favorite indicator of all.
- If the bank returns your check marked as "insufficient funds," you have to call them and ask if they meant you or them.
