Guest guest Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 The Great Depression I am in a depression because everyone is in a depression. Correction! There is a global depression, so I am in a depression. The Sensex quivers like an old debilitated man suffering from malaria trying to get up, only to fall down in a heap once again. Everything is down, the productivity, the profits and even my dog's tail. I tossed and turned and woke up with my wife urgently shaking my shoulder. " Wh-What? " I asked groggily. My wife folded her arms and sternly asked me, " And who exactly is this cutie? " I was flummoxed. " Cutie? " Oh how I wish I had half as many girlfriends as my wife thought. Of course, I don't mind which half I get. It is an equal toss between the upper and lower half. " Cutie? " I repeated, " What cutie? " " The whole night you were restlessly whispering her name. " " What was the name I was whispering? " wondering what I had let slip by in my sleep. " No name. You were just calling her a 'cutie'. How should I know the harlot's name? You tell me! " Then it dawned on me. " Oh yes! " I smiled, " It was no cutie that I was calling. That was Q2. " " Q2? What's that? " " As in Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4. You know the quarterly results of company profits. " " I don't know what you are rambling about. " " Forget it. I don't think you will understand such vital matters. By the way, what do you do when you go into depression? " My wife looked suspiciously at me and said, " I do what any sane woman does when depressed. I shop! Every woman knows that shopping cures depression. " " I don't think you understand anything about depression. " I kicked off my bed sheet and hurried to the newspaper to read the latest in depressing news. And there it was in capital letters by a noted economist, " We can come out of the depression by increasing our consumption! " I pondered over that and wondered if maybe women did know something about economics after all! -Kishore Shah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
