A Joke: Why am I depressed?‏

nature

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

Nearly 75 years ago (when Welfare was introduced) William Lyon Mackenzie King said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, and light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."

Now Harper 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 Health Care, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, pensions, retirement funds, etc. . .  I called Lifeline.  Got a freakin' call centre in  Pakistan.  I told them I was suicidal.

They got all excited and asked if I could drive a truck.
