The Economy is So Bad (Humor)

The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan , and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck...

I ordered a burger at McDonald's and the kid behind the counter asked,
"Can you afford fries with that?"

If 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.

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

The Mafia is laying off judges.

It's so bad I hear some people are turning their odometers forward trying to prove to friends they can actually afford to drive.

Can you explain this joke? I'm not sure I understand it. This is a thread about how bad the economy is not how much better it is getting.

You can turn the underwear around, flip it around and turn that side around once more to make 4 uses. If your situation were getting better, you use it twice so I am confused how the joke works in this thread.
