MY TOP TEN: Indications our Economy is in Shambles


National Forest Service's Economic Recession Danger Level:

(Smokey says: "remember kids, times are TOUGH!")

#10 - Your company's loss per share is greater than its stock price.

#9 - Bars have scaled back Happy Hour to 1 hour only and have removed the late night session entirely.

#8 - Your Home Equity Line of Credit gets revoked while you're on the way to Best Buy for that new flat screen.

#7 - You consider either not smoking or not driving. (gallon of gas = pack of cigarettes)

#6 - The interest rate on your credit card approaches 30% because your credit score dipped below 720.

#5 - Dinner at TGI Friday's is now gourmet.

#4 - You begin scheming on how to use slugs at the laundromat again, like you did in college.

#3 - You have to walk across the street, because your usual Starbucks was closed.

#2 - You hear more about "the Fed" than "K-Fed" in the news.

#1 - The guy getting ready next to you at the gym has drug store brand toothpaste in his dop kit.
