Finances in Mexico, and Dos Equis

I don't have a computer program to draw pictures, so you'll have to imagine my cartoon strip:

Cartoon Lisa, hands pulling out empty pockets and a sad face, "sorry, I can't pay my rent because the guy who owes me hasn't paid me yet."

The next frame has a the guy who owes me, standing behind me, empty pockets and a sad face, "sorry, I can't pay you cause the guy who owes me hasn't paid me yet."

Then, there are three of us in a row, and the guy at the end has-- you guessed it--- empty pockets and a sad face, and "can't pay cause someone still owes me."

Then, in the next frame, there is a line to the end of the horizon of empty pockets and inability to pay rent. This is finances in Mexico.

It makes me wonder WHO is at the beginning of this and consequently causing our chain of miserable dominos???

Luis had some insight into this and said that it isn't a long line of not-paying, it is a circle.

So, final frame of the cartoon will be a big circle of people falling over like dominos, with empty pockets and sad faces.

I wish I was funny, cause then I could write more cartoon strips without pictures. And they'd be funny.

Perhaps I will take it one step further. It is a web of not paying. Perhaps here in Mexico it is still connected to Mr. H1N1 and Ms. Economic Crisis' refusals to pay their bills. However, on the up-side, the landlord totally understands; but there I am, paying forward on our domino chain of finances.

But here is something funny. I have to say that I laughed for at lot longer than might seem normal.
