WHY I'M DEPRESSED

Over five thousand years ago, Moses said to the children of Israel,
"Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead

economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement
funds, etc . . . I called a Suicide Hotline.  I had to press 1 for

was suicidal.

They got excited and asked if I could drive a truck......
