Now, with the growing tension in the Mideast , the breakup of JLo and Ben Affleck, the new kickoff rules in the NFL and other horrific events, I feel I must continue my quest to try and scope out the economic future. If this is blocked for any reason, I understand, cruel and unusual punishment is banned by our Constitution.
1) I asked the circus people how things are going, it was a mixed bag. The acrobat was “ walking a tightrope”, financially. The magician saw his earnings go up in smoke, and the knife thrower was right on target.
2) At The NRA, all the new members were “ shooting the lights out”.
3) At the diner, the wait staff had reached, “ The Tipping Point”, and were threatening to quit, but the owner says, “ things will pan out!”
4) Over at Jenny Craig, the staff are overweight on health care stocks.
5) The markets are a bit too high, at least according to short sellers, Danny De Vito, Paul Simon and Robert Reich.
6) In Las Vegas, gamblers are unsure, also, so they are “ rolling the dice “, etc.
7) At the egg farm, the owner told me, “ cracks are appearing”.
8) The people at LASIK, are worried, as they were blindsided by the big interest rate drop.
9) And over at the TD Garden, the Celtics said a recession is a “ slam dunk”, and the Bruins think they are skating on thin ice.
10) The surveyors are plotting the path and the axe men are “ clearing a path “ to the future.
I remember, back in the day, when playing with words was serious business…

No, of course not. But, the calendar company had a “week’ outlook on finance, my vet said the economy is ” going to the dogs”, most coffee makers see sales “perking up”, the owner of a horse farm in Kentucky is predicting a ” stable ” outcome and trash companies see sales,” picking up”.
The syrup people see, ” sticky ” inflation, while the compass guy stated, the economy is headed in the right direction. The hot tub people see turbulence ahead, meanwhil,the the puzzle makers business was, ” going to pieces”, and a famous play write wrote,” because of the internet, Death of a salesman is imminent”!
Because of the inflation, etc., The Phantom of the Opera refused to pay The Barber of Seville for a haircut, and that ended poorly. And again, on Broadway, “Cats” merged with ” The Odd Couple”, and now Felix is really upset, ” luckily, though, enough, ” Hamiltons” are coming in.
Another play had to adapt, sadly, because the postal service is hurting, ” The Postman Only Rings Once,” is the new normal,( no time) and finally, a bit of good news, The Rock and wife have a newer baby, The Pebble.
Finally, Clint Eastwood, when hearing of potential cuts to Social Security, hollowed out his cane and put a gun in there, and, I promise, no more concerns about benefit cuts!
Great! Good to see a little humor.
Please tell me you aren’t “here all week!”
