From: Jim Moore Jr
Subject: Household Finances
Harried wife, figuring at desk, to husband and children: "Well, I worked out a budget. But one of us will have to go."
Husband, peering at a stack of bills: "Well, it's finally happened. There's a payment due on something every day."
Wife to Husband: "All right ! I admit I like to go shopping and spend money... but name one other extravagance."
Wife to husband, working on budget: "Perhaps we could borrow a little every month, and put that aside."
Husband to wife discussing dental bills: "Maybe we get some kind of book and straighten their teeth ourselves."
Wife, looking at checkbook: "Of course it balances. The checks total up to the exact amount we're overdrawn."
Wife to husband who's frowning over a pile of bills: "Do what the government does, raise the debt ceiling."
Husband looking up from newspaper: "What happened between you & the merchants ? I see business was down for December."
Husband to daughter's beau: "Glad to finally meet you. I've noticed you in our food budget for some time now."
