Collapse of the Euro? Look at a 10 year chart of the Euro and please "splain me" when this collapse happened and what the magnitude is or was. It's not there.

This is the JOKES thread. Please take the posting of articles over to the POLITICS thread. Of course political related jokes and cartoons are welcome here. Obj Joke: A very loud Texan Engineer was visiting Australia, and talking big about all of the large civil works in the USA that he was involved in. To be polite his Australian counterpart took him on a tour of some of Sydneyâs larger constructions. First he took him to Gladesville Bridge. The Texan exclaimed, "Whatâs that!â In reply the Australian said, "Thats the Gladesville Bridge". "Hmmph" said the Texan, "How long and how many men did it take to build?â The Australian replied, "About 5 years with 1000 men." The Texan replied, "Well in Texas we would've done it in 2 years with 500 men." Next they went to the Sydney Opera House. "What's that" said the Texan. "That's the Sydney Opera House" was the reply. "Hmmph" said the Texan, "How long and how many men did it take to build?â The Australian replied, "About 10 years with 200 men". The Texan replied "Well in Texas we would've done it in 4 years with 200 men." By this stage the Australian was a little put out by the Texan's attitude so he decided to get some revenge, they walked around the Sydney Opera House and as they did the Sydney Harbor Bridge came into view. Immediately the Texan exclaimed, "Wow! What's that?" The Australian Engineer replied, "I don't know, it wasn't there yesterday."
I read our jokes and, most of the time, I laugh, or, at least, I smile. But, I'm a simple man. For me, the following says it all: Patient: Doctor, every time I do "this" it hurts... Doctor: Don't do that... Let's go guys, re-energize this great thread. What's your favorite joke?
So I'm in Boston, yesterday everyone was walking around with their head down low shuffling their feet (Giants parade in nyc)I tried to cheer them up by passing out free "Butterfingers" but no takers (sigh), more for me. Awwwww....
