Money doesn&39;t have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

Wow...this has been one wild week for personal finance. The news simply will not stop coming. The stock market is bouncing up and down like a crazed toddler. The housing statistics keep getting worse and worse. The Labor Department delivered bad news about payrolls this morning. And a soon-to-be-signed college financing bill is putting student lenders out of business. There aren&39;t enough implode-o-meters to keep up.

There&39;s not much to joke about this week. Every idea I had this morning was more "depressing" than "funny." So let&39;s keep it simple with a few jokes from Jay Leno:

"Do you have any idea how cheap stocks are now? Wall Street is now being called Wal-Mart Street."

"The United States have developed a new weapon that destroys people but it leaves buildings standing. It&39;s called the stock market."

"Things do not look good. The economy&39;s gone south, we&39;re at war, people are out of work. In fact, George Bush Sr. picked up the newspaper and thought, &39;Hey, I must still be president.&39;"

Have a great weekend!
