I just came across the following comment, which although highly amusing is also so true in today’s world and readers may enjoy it.

“Over 5,000 years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel: Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land.

“Nearly 75 years ago (when welfare was introduced in the US) Roosevelt said, “Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land.

“Today, in the US, Congress has stolen all the shovels, taxed all asses, raised the price of Camels and mortgaged the Promised Land!

“I was so depressed a few nights ago thinking about health care plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, social security, retirement funds, etc… I called a suicide hotline.

“I had to press 1 for English.

“I was connected to a call centre in Pakistan. I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck.

“At that point I knew we were all toast!”
