5 Fun things to do during a "recession"

1)Make jokes about how everyone loves capitalism until somebody gets hurt.  It's such fun to watch militant capitalist ask for the government to bail them out.  But then again, we're not really capitalist, the same way we aren't actually a democracy.  We're a republic, goddamn it. And we've always practiced socialized capitalism, or is that, capitalistic socialism.  Okay, now I'm off track...
2) Make lame jokes about giving the economy prozac to help it get over it's depression.  We all know that this is just a phase, the one that all teens go through, and it'll get over it.  Don't pay any attention to it, you'll only encourage it.  
3) Drinking in the car before you go into the club.  Yes, relive those teen years, and early twenties, by BYOB, or better yet, BYOHL(Bring Your Own Hard Liquor).  Not only will you save money, you will also get the giddy thrill that comes from knowing you're doing something illegal.
4)Did you know that grocery stores throw out perfectly good, well,  eatable, food?  That's right, you go on the right night and you can get all the melted ice cream and almost rotten fruit you can eat.  
5)  Draw straws with friends to figure out who will move in with whom.  Short straw will be the "hostess."  And don't think of your new companions as roommates, think of them as slumber party guest who pay part of the rent.  Oh, what fun this depression, er-recession, will be.
