Sounds Like They'd Lose Their Head If It Wasn't Attached......

From the world of high finance:

General Motors reported a loss of $3.2 billion, or $5.62 per share, for the second quarter of 2006, compared with a reported loss of $987 million, or $1.75 per share, for the year-ago quarter.


You mean they just friggin' LOST over 3 billion dollars? They should really try to find it. Maybe look in the pockets of their winter coat. I find money in there sometimes when I put it on for the first time in the fall. If that doesn't work maybe they should try under the cushions of their couch or under the car seat.

Going through the financial news today, I was amazed how many corporations just go around misplacing money. It seems almost every company on earth has lost a few billion here or there from time to time. How incredibly irresponsible. This doesn't seem to be a problem with drug companies though. I couldn't find a single member of Big Pharma that lost a penny in the last few years. I guess they're better about getting their money to the bank at the end of the day.
