Unemployment Shmunemployment

The U.S. unemployment rate is currently sitting at 9.8% That’s a hefty 5 percent higher than what it was in April 2008.

Instead of wallowing in such a ridiculously high unemployment rate, let’s just pretend that the 9.8% means something else…

1) Imagine that 9.8% was the number of babies being born cross-eyed in America.

2) Imagine that 9.8% of the U.S. is still using 2-way pagers.

3) Imagine that 9.8% of parents of children who use Facebook, are actually friends with their children on Facebook.

4) Imagine that 9.8% of U.S. workers didn’t have jobs…. (whoops.)

5) And finally, imagine that 9.8% of pizzas ordered were topped with pineapple AND canadian bacon.

Ahh. Now doesn’t that feel better? I doubt whether any of these things are true (except number 4), but it sure does feel better to ignore your problems. Doesn’t it?
