    Source of Global Recession and decline in GDP traced to ScubaBoard

    Yes it is true. Today, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Fed announced the current downturn in markets has been determined to be a direct offset from the reduced productivity evidenced by employees in multiple sectors spending excessive working hours online with ScubaBoard. Attempts to reach NetDoc, chairman of Scubaboard, have been met with stoney silence, although one inside source indicates that it has recently been supposed that ScubaBoard is an international front for the Chinese Military CyberWar efforts..

    Well, I think the $150 billion stimulus package should be only for scuba divers. Just think about the jolt to the economy that would arise from all the purchases of gear that we've been lusting after, not to mention vacations to exotic locales.

    I thought this could all be attributed to the PPD divers on this list what with all of the time they spend at work posting to this list :-)

    I blame any problems on the economy on Fairy Basslet. Why? Since when does anyone need a reason to point fingers?

    You mean the rest of the members here on SB still have jobs? I thought we all lost them in the recession.
