THEYR'E BACK....


COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America.
ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It's 8.2%.


COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?
ABBOTT: No, that's 18%


COSTELLO: You just said 8.2%.
ABBOTT: 8.2% Unemployed.


COSTELLO: Right 8.2% out of work.
ABBOTT: No, that's 18%.


COSTELLO: Okay, so it's 18% unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, that's 8.2%...


COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 8.2% or 18%?
ABBOTT: 8.2% are unemployed. 18% are out of work.


COSTELLO: IF you are out of work you are unemployed.
ABBOTT: No, you can't count the "Out of Work" as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.


COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!
ABBOTT: No, you miss my point.


COSTELLO: What point?
ABBOTT: Someone who doesn't look for work, can't be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn't be fair.


COSTELLO: To who?
ABBOTT: The unemployed.


COSTELLO: But they are ALL out of work.
ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work... Those who are out of work stopped looking. They gave up. And, if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.


COSTELLO: So if you're off the unemployment roles, that would count as less unemployment?
ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!


COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don't look for work?
ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That's how you get to 8.2%. Otherwise it would be 18%. You don't want to read about 18% unemployment do ya?


COSTELLO: That would be frightening.
ABBOTT: Absolutely.


COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means they're two ways to bring down the unemployment number?
ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.


COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?
ABBOTT: Correct.


COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?
ABBOTT: Bingo.


COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to just stop looking for work.
ABBOTT: Now you're thinking like a Democrat.

COSTELLO: I don't even know what the hell I just said!

What car model was/is produced for the longest time continuously? One Day Poll

I came in tonight to a hilarious scene. It's no secret we live on a farm and have the occaisional house/field mouse in the house. we have 2 house cats. One is a good mouser, the other thinks she's too pretty to mess with them.
The mouser usually catches them, plays with them, but they get away wounded and die later, we find them when they start to smell. Tonite the mouser caught one, killed it, and promptly decided to eat it this time, right in front of Lisa! Lisa said she had to take it away from the cat and throw it outside because hearing the little mouse bones crack and break made her hurling kinda sick, Lisa even started to hurl just talking about it! I asked "well, Squatch, (the cat), did'nt get any bones stuck in her throat did she"? I got the looks that kill, Lisa said nothing, and stomped off to bed.
AHHHHH, another evening of solitude!:ROFLMAO:

My sister just sent these to me. The first was Christmas 75 -- the first year after I returned home from my Military service -- and the second last week at a Mexican Restaurant that we were slamming Margaritas at. She's obviously aged much better than I have.

The Secret Service scandal was discovered when a disagreement on how much a prostitute wanted for her services came to light. She wanted $800.00. The Secret Service Agents offered $30.00.


How ironic is it that the only person in Washington making an effort to cut spending getsfired?

While examining his lady patient, the doctor tells her: "Your heart, lungs, pulse & BP are fine.

Now let me see that little thing which gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble."


The lady started taking off her clothes.....


Doctor, stopping her: "No! No! Please put on your clothes. Just show me your tongue."

A man goes into the local bookstore and asks the young lady assistant, "Do you have the new book that just came out, for men with short peckers? I can't remember the title."



She replies,

"I'm not sure if it's in yet."



The man said,

”That's the one! I'll take a copy."
