Market’s so bad that …
After a long time, here’s some Friday silliness on state of the markets.
I remember Jay Leno doing this setup-punchline bit after Lehman crisis. He has a common setup (“Economy’s so bad that”) and follows up with dozens of punchlines off that setup. “Economy’s so bad that Obama laid off two teleprompters”. “Economy’s so bad that even the Kardashians are losing their ass”.
Here’s my attempt at a setup-punchline bit, starting with “Market’s so bad that”
