Americans will joke about anything. Even about the dreadful state of the economy.

Here are some observations that have recently been circulating on the Internet:

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?"
CEOs are now playing miniature golf.
Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.
My ATM gave me an IOU.
A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.
I met a polygamist with only one wife.
I bought a toaster oven, and my free gift with the purchase was a bank.
McDonald's is selling the 1/4 ouncer.
Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.
Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.
My cousin had an exorcism but couldn't afford to pay for it, so they re-possessed her.
A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.
When Bill and Hillary travel together, they now have to share a room.
The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.
And, finally...
I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my paltry savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., that I phoned the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told the people there that I was suicidal, they got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck.
