I'm guessing you don't recognize humorous sarcasm when you see/read/hear it. Lighten up and laugh a little-you'll live longer.

<div><br></div>Haha yeah, the most common thing I'm hearing from people is:
"Screw the economy, the stock market crash, the housing slump, the high cost of
food, gas and everything in general, my kids college tuition and the coming
recession...I just want my piano tuned and I'll pay ANY PRICE!!! And while
you're at it, throw in a restringing, new hammers, a dampp-chaser system...oh
and one of them nifty string covers. It's ok, I can go without essentials for
the next 6 months. Oh..will you take a post-dated check?" <img src="http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w3/pr01/ltr/../emoticons/smile_regular.gif"><br><br>Terry

The thing is, there has occurred the economic equivalent of a 9.6 on the
