Big 3 Bailouts
by Traci Kanaan

So the Big 3 need a bail out?  Ok...here's how I'd do it. 

Every time the Big 3 asks for a bailout, I'd say "I have to check with my manager." 
Then I run to the "manager" for a few hours.
I smoke a few cigarettes, call my spouse, place a fantasy football bet. 
Eventually, I come back with a ridiculously stupid counter offer, and say "I don't think my manager is going to go for that."
Even though he would.

When the Big 3 counters, I say "I have to check with my manager." 
More cigarettes, more phone calls, more fantasy football.
I come back with a ridiculously more stupid counter offer, and say "You're breaking my balls here."
Even though they're not.

Recognize the pattern?  It's the same shit they do to you and me when WE buy a car!

Let's keep it going...
The bail out should screw the Big 3 over royally (for at LEAST 60 payments).
Charge them a high interest rate,
Call and hassle them when they're late,
and then I'll repossess their factory when they miss a payment. 
(I'm Italian and Lebanese...I have the knowledge and the family ties to do so.)

Oh yeah...let's not forget that $39 a month late fee too.  Just because it's annoying.

I'm Comedian Traci Kanaan.  I approve of this message.  But these bailouts are bullshit.
