Business Humor Hat Trick
Jay Leno pulled off a business humor hat trick on the Tonight Show last night.
On Exxon Mobil:
"Exxon getting hammered for showing a second quarter profit of $12 billion. It pledges most of these profits will go toward ... exploring. Not for oil, though, just new ways to screw the consumer."
On Wal-Mart:
"Wal-Mart is now denying allegations that it pressured employees on how to vote in November. And of course, I was stunned when I heard this story. Wal-Mart hires US citizens?"
On US Airways:
"What's the difference between Mars and US Airways? You can find free water on Mars."
