Don't remember where I got this, but I thought you guys might enjoy it:
This Recession:
This freaking economic downward spiral is really hitting everyone. Cost of gas is going up everyday and who knows when it's going to stop. Exxon-Mobile just laid off 25 congressmen. I actually got a pre-declined credit card in the mail yesterday. Never have seen one of those before. I understand wives are now having sex with their husbands again, because they no longer can afford batteries. If I get a returned check from my bank marked "insufficient funds", I immediately call them and ask if they meant me or them. Even read in the paper yesterday where a truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico. I became so depressed last night thinking about this rotten economy, wars, jobs, my savings, my retirement fund, etc., I actually called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan, of all places, which is not that unusual these days because all call centers are in other countries. Anyway, when I told the person, whom I could barely understand, that I was feeling suicidal, he got all excited and ask me if I could drive a truck!!!
And it goes on and on. Here's hoping 2011 will show some improvement for us all.
