Hello recession, how are you, have you been all right? through all those lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely nights

That's what I'd say. I'd tell you everything. If you'd pick up that telephone. ... Do wop, doobie do wop, .... (U.S. Payrolls ...):

U.S. employers cut payrolls for a second straight month during February, slashing 63,000 jobs for the biggest monthly job decline in nearly five years as the labor market weakened steadily, a government report on Friday showed.

The Labor Department said last month's cut in jobs followed an upwardly revised loss of 22,000 jobs in January instead of 17,000 reported a month ago. In addition, it said that only 41,000 jobs were created in December, half the 82,000 originally reported.

The back-to-back January and February job losses were the first consecutive monthly declines since May and June of 2003.

I'm heading home to recession proof my basement (mental list: peanut butter, bread, saltine crackers, canned soup, beer, Little Debbie oatmeal creme pies).

John, don't you realize the things we did we did were all for real, not a dream? I just can't believe they've all faded out of view! I wonder why the little things are finally comin' true.

O.k. so no ones answering,

Well can't you just let it ring a little longer, longer, longer, ohoh...

I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night, and let it ring for evermore.

What's the expiration date on the beer?
What happens if you drink it after it expires? Expiration?

Do you have enough room to store a sufficient quantity? And don't forget the chips!

Aren't high unemployment numbers a lagging indicator?

PBR never expires and I believe beer sales is a leading indicator.
