Economics

"The economy is so bad O.J. had to shut down the DNA lab he was using to find the real killers. That's how bad."

"The federal government agreed on Sunday to provide an additional $30 billion to AIG. According to AIG, $15 billion will be used to build the world's biggest toilet, down which the other $15 billion will be flushed."

This weekend is Daylight Savings Time. ... You're going to lose an hour of sleep, and then I thought but what the hell, you've pretty much lost everything else.

Turns out it was just a tax form, but it gave them quite a fright."
