    Default Ancient Proverb Updated yet again !!!

    from an investor's BBS ...

    (snip)"Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of
    Israel , "Pickup your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."

    Nearly 75 years ago, Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

    Today, the Government has stolen your shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land!

    I was so depressed last night thinking about BP, Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hotline.

    I had to press 1 for English.

    I was connected to a call center in Pakistan . I told them I was suicidal. They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck...... "(snip)
