one of these days

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, government, health care, real estate prices, the stock market, the federal deficit, Iraq, Afghanistan, global warming, my savings, Social Security, credit card debt... I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan; I told them I was suicidal. They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
