In-the-red humor

From a story on Reuters:

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.

"In the face of the financial crisis, I have bravely stood up and am
marching forward! That's because ... I can't pay back my loans and the bank
has repossessed my car."
