Give Me Back My Five Bucks

This website that I randomly stumbled across, Stuff Unemployed People Like, has pretty much made my day. :) Some of the “stuff” includes: #141 Rationing Their Cell Phone Minutes #146 Staring At Their Useless Diploma(s) #138 Pampering Themselves #130 Going on a Road Trip to Ponder the Meaning of Life.
