    And the money you had in the bank is now burnt crumbs.

    I keep my money in a #2 mayonnaise jar under Funk and Wagnall’s porch. If it was good enough for Carnac…

    It’s not toast; it just got “reorganized” and taken over by the Feds.

    They’re not reading the Tattler. Notice the section titles: Sports, State, Doom, Gloom. All the unfit news to print.

    And with the inflation rate at 14%… (Yes, it is. Do the math. And use the correct “market basket”, because the “new” one is mostly irrelevant.)

    …just another long, painful, drawn-out pun. It loses the humor that way.
