I don't know of the source for it, but the following was apparently a quote from a stock market trader who had been the victim of the recent suicide dives of the world financial markets:

"This is worse than a divorce.  I've lost half of my net worth, and I still have my wife."

(Yes, I'm going to get hit for posting this, rest assured.)  :cwm10:
"Who?"
"The poor."
"The poor?"
"Oh, you must meet them. I just know you\'ll like them. Charming people. Of course, they haven\'t got two pennies to rub together, but then, that\'s because they\'re poor."

Even I saw that coming.  Still, the Monty Python quote was a nice touch, dude
