Saw this on the web this morning:
In related news, studies have shown that people who own BMWs are
richer than those who own Volvos. According to top economist Richard
P. Fudgemocker, "This is proof that the key to financial success is
spending money on an expensive car."
Earl Worthly, a certified financial planner, supports Fudgemocker's
claim. "I encourage all my clients to buy expensive cars because of
the strong link between owning expensive cars and high salaries. Most
of the time a BMW, Lexus, or Mercedes is sufficient. But sometimes one
of my clients is in dire need of financial assistance, or just wants
to fast track. For them, I recommend a Porsche or Lamborghini."
Volvo dealers are outraged by this news. Many Volvo customers have
attempted to return their cars. "I can't believe I bought a volvo,
jeaprodizing the 20% raise I received at my job!" said Mary Edgerman,
a recently promoted manager at UA-Corp. "I owe it to my familty to buy
a far more expensive car. What if I got a pay cut because of my
Volvo?"
Most major auto manufacturers predict a shift to higher end cars,
trucks, and SUVs. An anonymous Marketting executive at GM confirmed
that prices will drastically increase for their entire line of
Cadillacs. "It's scientifically proven that expensive automobiles are
the key to financial success. At GM, we offer even more financial
stability by raising the sticker cost. We're banking on a 10% increase
in sales, but 15% wouldn't suprise us either."
