Fun with the trade deficit

News item: Trade deficit hits record $665.9B in 2004

Why the .9?   Because otherwise the deficit, in round numbers, is $666 billion.

Could it be Satan?

 

DEAR ABBY: My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money.  He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.

Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.

Also, he has gotten religious in a big way, although I don't quite
understand it. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ. And now he has been going to the gym an awful lot and is into wearing uniforms and cowboy outfits, and I  hate to think what that means.

Finally, the last straw. He's demanding that before anyone can be in the
same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly
creepy!  Can you help?

Signed, Lost in DC
