How bad is the economy?

The economy is so bad that:
...CEO's are now playing miniature golf,
...if the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them,
...Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM,
...McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer,
...parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names,
...a truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico,
...Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore,
...the Mafia is laying off judges in Cicago and Boston,
...Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

And finally...Congress says it's looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear.
