Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Alma Peters,

"So what? A recession just means people will start drinking off-brand soda. Doesn't matter to me as long as I still get five cents a can."

Dale Landmark,
Ice Cream Truck Driver
"Good. Working sucks!"

Ivan Paymer,
Systems Analyst
"This can all be remedied through interest rates. How it's done and to what extent I haven't a clue, but interest rates are the key."
