ECONOMY FUNNIES
Even as dark clouds of depression hang somberly above the American economy (is anyone not aware?), we do see some "silver linings" of humour in them.
For instance take this self-deprecatory cartoon humour of a bulging, balding entrepreneur quite used to striking big business deals in a golf course. He is seen to be saying with a golfing partner around in a golf course..." I am in a period of depression, because my hair-line is under recession and my waist-line under inflation".
Yet another joke doing the rounds about American giant companies pertains to their balance sheets. It is joked that in their balance sheets on the "left hand side (Liabilities), there is nothing right and on the right hand side (Assets), THERE IS NOTHING LEFT" (sic)!
