Standard & Poor’s index of 500 stocks ended April a full 1.1 percent above its level of Dec. 31, 1999… Measured in euros, on the other hand, the S.& P. has lost a third of its value. Measured in British pounds, the decline is 22 percent.

My personal favorite… When we were kids our parents used to take us to the neighborhood dive bar, which had the best burgers and fries in town. In the restroom, someone wrote “This gum tastes like crap” on the condom machine.
