 | Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, October 6, 2008. Stocks slid for a fourth straight day on Monday, leaving the Dow below 10,000 for the first time in four years, on fears the global economy was hurtling into recession despite government efforts to contain the fast-spreading financial crisis. |
Halloween Party
A couple was invited to a swanky masked Halloween Party. She got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He being a devoted husband, protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed, and there was no need of his good time being spoiled by not going. So he took his costume and away he went.
The wife, after sleeping soundly for one hour, awakened without pain and as it was still early, she decided to go the party. In as much as her husband did not know what her costume was, she thought she would have some fun by watching her husband to see how he acted when she was not with him.
She joined the party and soon spotted her husband cavorting around on the dance floor, dancing with every nice chick he could, and copping a little feel here and a little kiss there. His wife sidled up to him and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his partner high and dry and devoted his time to the new stuff that had just arrived.
She let him go as far as he wished; naturally, since he was her husband. Finally, he whispered a little proposition in her ear and she agreed, so off they went to one of the cars and had a good time. Just before unmasking at midnight, she slipped away and went home and put the costume away and got into bed, wondering what kind of explanation he would make for his behavior.
She was sitting up reading when he came in and asked what kind of a time he had.
He said, “Oh, the same old thing. You know I never have a good time when you’re not there.” Then she asked, “Did you dance much?” He replied, “I’ll tell you, I never even danced one dance. When I got there, I met Pete, Bill Brown and some other guys, so we went into the den and played poker all evening.
But you’re not going to believe what happened to the guy I loaned my costume to.” |

| I was watching the news last evening when Ben came in the room for a while. After watching some of the news about the stock market falling below 10,000 points Ben told me how his business economics teacher had told the class it was all because of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I am appalled! She must be getting her information from Faux News because she hasn’t even mentioned all the deregulation that allowed the banks and Wall St. to invent worthless instruments like credit default swaps. Neither did she mention there are 50 to 60 TRILLION dollars worth of them in the market ... almost all are worthless. It is so bad nobody has even kept track of them all and they can only GUESS within 10 TRILLION dollars! And this school is teaching my children Faux News GOP talking points instead of the truth. It is no wonder this country is so fouled up when even our children are taught Republican lies as truth. |
