You know the economy's bad when New York pulls state police off their regular duties an tells them to go patrol a mall because the owner's scared of Syracuse's citizens.

You know the econemy's bad when a man takes another man's blocks - I took the wife out for dinner and was gone a half hour. Came home to find 8 cinder blocks missing from the front yard. I'm not talking about the small ones either.

I work on semi trucks for a living and we sell a lot more use trucks then new. You know it's bad when you work on trucks older then you for most of your day. I am 24 years old. I feel bad when these guys spend more money on there trucks then what it is worth and only fix minor things.
