Footer gags: TOP TEN WAYS TO BEAT THE RECESSION: Become red/black colour-blind · Prey on your fellow man · Train foxes to rifle through bins and bring food back to you · Make cups of tea go further: keep a bag in the bottom of the kettle · Launch a comedy magazine named after a condiment (Chutney!) · Hollow out lots of mice to make a nice warm mouse blanket · Give everything away now! By the end of the recession you will be no poorer. You may even be richer · Eat this page · Go to jail for a few years and wait it out · Dog food is cheaper than baby food and will give them nice shiny hair · Raise chickens (above your head, for money) · Drink your own tears · Eat your young. And your old. · Create your own currency
