Home » The Recession in Humor - How to Laugh at Hard Times

Recession is more a state of mind after a few days than a state of economy. Well, these are the same people that drive the economy and to get out of recession, they need to jump out of their states of mind first. I guess, that is why it takes time. Recession is only as serious as you perceive it, you have everything apart from money and how does it matter, you don't eat money, do you? The humorous side of recession can get you out of it, think and ponder beyond the yonder.... before....

1. You order water with your taco at taco bell and steal a soda.
2. Begging starts looking like an attractive career choice.
3. When you start buying your clothes at Wal-Mart instead of Target.
4. Your home is the only occupied house on your block.
5. Every time you have a company meeting you think you're going to get fired.
6. A trip to the ice cream parlor suddenly turned into a family vacation.
7. You walk around Sam's club eating samples for dinner.
8. You steal ketchup at McDonald's and make soup out of it.
9. You put $3.00 worth of gas in your car.

If you associate with any of the above, it is time you realized that you are going through a recession. Don't fret, it is normal, it is your bad financial condition that has afflicted everyone you know.. your country is gonna get a bad credit loan from the UN to bail all of you out.. and probably your government will pee on your foot and claim it is raining...

You got to take all of this with a pinch of salt and look at it in the eye, with a hint of humor. It will keep you going.. as Herr Someone of the Somewhere Gulag said - "The human body is a wonderful machine, it can work forever with very little input", time to test it out...!
