Wives are having sex with their husbands because they can't afford batteries.
CEO's are now playing miniature golf.
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

pennies while she danced.

ask if they meant you or them.

names.
My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, and they
re-possessed her!

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great! The
guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made
$14.1 Trillion disappear!
And, finally...

savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline.
I got forwarded to the outsourced call center in Pakistan, and when I told them
I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.
