Unemployment Humor

Jose and Carlos are both beggars. They beg in different areas of town.

Carlos begs for the same amount of time as Jose, but only collects about eight or nine dollars a day.

Every day, Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills. He drives a Mercedes, lives in a mortgage-free house, and has lots of cash to spend.

"Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose, "I work just as long and hard as you do, so how come you bring home a suitcase full of ten dollar bills every day?"

Jose says, "Look at your sign, what does it say?"

Carlos' sign reads;

I have no work, a wife and
six kids to support.

"What's wrong with that?" Carlos asks him.

"No wonder you only get eight or nine dollars a day!"

Carlos says, "Alright, so what does your sign say?"

Jose's sign reads:

I only need ten dollars
to get back to Mexico

And so it goes...

Are You Prepared for a Worst Case Breakdown in Society?

There are other good articles on both these sites, just follow all the available links and copy the information into My Notes Keeper  for organizing your Survival Bible  or Alexandria Project.

Now I probably found these sources by following a link off of some other blogs pages, but since my memory sucks I couldn't cite my sources if I had too.

Missing In Action

It seems the "Survive The Worst" blog is no longer in existence. I have tried several approaches and get a "Blog not found" message from blogger.

Sorry to see you go, if this is indeed the case and not just a blogger goof-up!

Hitting Close To Home

More police executions in the line of duty. No need to arrest, jail or bother the courts with these cases! Tasers should be outlawed from use, period! Perhaps officers should be tased before they are ever issued one themselves. Perhaps then they would be more reluctant to use them when other means will suffice!
This just makes me sick.
