We need a laugh during this endless market downturn. Imagine a website that offers stock quotes
and simultaneously plays a humorous wav file. For example type KM, and you see the quote and
hear Dustin Hoffman from Rainman say, “K Mart Sucks!” Or maybe MSO and you hear David
Letterman say, “help me
out on this one Paul, but is it proper to use the salad fork or the dessert
fork as a shank.” And then there is WCOM, and McGruff the crime dog says, “Drop a quarter for
law and Order.”

Groucho Marx visited the New York Stock Exchange in the 'fifties. He cleared his throat, waited until he had eveyone's attention, and said, "In the Wall Street Crash of 1929 I lost $250,000 in two hours. I will now sing a verse and a chorus of 'When Irish Eyes are Smiling'." He then sang and told jokes on the trading floor for fifteen minutes during which time not one single trade was made. Groucho said he was getting his money's worth.

what's 401k? It's been mentioned in the last two Daily Dilberts, and I thought it was people saying that their 410,000 dollars savings were now worth nothing. Which puzzled me. |

...it has the added advantage of being a pre-tax contribution. The name comes from the part of the tax code which allows such contributions. |

Hey, audience teleprompters that say "Laugh, Laugh" or "Applause, Applause" can go. What we need are teleprompters that say "Sue, Sue" or "Bastard, Bastard". |
