My husband found this one in the paper last evening........."Another Way to Spot an Unsophisticated Investor".......
A cartoon, showing a guy behind a desk, with a sigh behind him that says "Financial Counselor".....with another man sitting in a chair in front of the desk saying, "I'd like to upgrade my 401(K) plan to this Y2K plan I've been hearing about.".............
Just thought it was rather cute........and with all the rest of the S**t, we do need some humor now and then.......
Thanks Scott

You guys find the people quotes funny?I don't...it puts a human face on the culling that will take place.
The headlines were hilarious though.

For a REALLY funny one, check out the TV Listings. (A sample: on TNN, check out "Impeachment: Yep Or Naw?" and "This Week In Bait")scott

Scott, sadly funny, but worth the chuckle.Anyone who supports the longest running thread on fruitcakes still has a sense of humor about Y2K. Its about all weve got thats real.
