With all the dire financial news in the media these days, Reuters takes a more light-hearted approach by reporting the jokes that are circulating among cell phone users and netizens:
Many of the jokes have been circulating online, or via text message in a country whose population is obsessed with their mobile phones.
A bank worker calls a colleague, goes one joke on the tiexue.net bulletin board.
“Hey, how’s it been going?”
“Not so bad.”
“Oh, sorry, I’ve definitely called the wrong number.”
Others adopt a similar tone, but riffing off Communist propaganda slogans.
