Things seem to be going backwards since the lockdown of our country. A couple of months ago everything was great; businesses humming, people working, stock market at all time highs, people actually living their lives and pursuing happiness.
Now we've shut down our country and returned to the Obama recession years of low expectations, more people on food stamps and less people working.
If things continue backwards like this it won't be long until we go all the way back to the Depression of the 1930's.
In keeping with the "bad old days" how about we entertain ourselves with some good old-fashioned wife jokes that would have been popular decades ago?
These were the jokes of our grandparents and great-grandparents, back before women's lib, the misogynist hysteria and the speech police took over, back at a time before people lost their senses of humor. Now is definitely not the time to adhere to political correctness.
Have fun!
