In honor of the year that we just finished, we thought we'd post an email forwarded to us by one of our contributors. Thank you to Juanita Hawley for sending this.
It Was a Tough Year
It was a tough year, but I made it ...
The economy was 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.
When 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.
Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.
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...
On New Year's Eve, I was so depressed 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.

Happy 2011 to all our friends and readers. We wish you a year filled with happiness, health, and hope!

McDonalds should sell a 1/4 ouncer. It would be great for weight watchers.
Funny stuff. Of course, I knew things were getting pretty bad when I bought a toaster and it came with a bank.
Cute Leif.
I liked these. But I always thought the Catsup burger at Micky D's was a quarter ouncer, geez the pickle is bigger than the burger.
I hate to say it but I laughed at the rooster. Poor thing is in his raggedy clothes but is still struttin' his stuff.
That was awesome! Very funny:)
Very good one, Leif! :)
Thanks Cathy, Leif, Lyn, Kellie, Felix and Ava for your thoughts. We enjoyed hearing from you ... and now, we're off to buy a toaster to see if it comes with a bank! (Thanks to Leif for that thought! :)
