3/18

1. To get back some of the AIG bonus money, Congress is thinking of putting a 90% tax on it. Actually, I have a better idea. How about a 9000% tax on the bonuses? That way, we get all of our money back.

2. Mexico just put tariffs on American products because we won’t let Mexican trucks over the border. Ford and General Motors were very upset when we wouldn’t allow trucks from Mexico, since that’s where they build most of them.

3. To protest against the United States’ concern about its upcoming missile launch, North Korea has decided to stop taking food aid for its starving citizens. Yeah, that’ll teach us! This is like negotiating with a four-year-old. “You won’t let us launch missiles? Then we’ll hold our breath until we pass out!”

4. A new study shows that being severely obese is as bad for the health as smoking for a lifetime. Well, smoking can keep you slim, so I guess they balance each other out.

5. Scientists now say that chimpanzees will go to incredible lengths to get their hands on honey. Maybe Charlie Sheen is a chimp.
