    Interest rates were raised to kick people in the teeth, the Federal reserve says that it needs to keep kicking people in the teeth for a few more months.

    Economists are saying that people are not being kicked in the teeth.

    Logicians everywhere are banging their heads on their desks, as people are both being kicked in the teeth, and not kicked in the teeth.

      It’s not that bad. I get kicked in the teeth all the time. I still got some. Only gives me problems when i try to eat certain foods. I don’t like corn on the cob anyway.
