Italy is in a recession.
Germany is in a recession.

Actually, I've heard quite a bit of fun conversations through the years. I have them written down in odd spots around the house. This was within reaching distance, written on the back of an envelope from the Social Security Administration, ironically.

"The dollar will bounce back because we're the US and we're in one war. We didn't go in there for nothing. *mumble* *mumble* because they don't understand life."
He also said: "washer, dryer, and then she folds them-- what stress!" (referring to his wife)
