This fits the times, from Alan Abelson @Barron's>

WorldCom, Global Crossing, Adelphia, Enron and the rest of the now familiar suspects, besides no end of rage and pain, have also inspired humor (not, need we say, among shorn shareholders, laid-off employees, retirees and the other desolate victims of their chicanery). This isn't exactly gallows humor, but it's a sardonic sibling. A sample was sent to us by a hedge-fund manager who often finds funny what normal human beings only find fretful. To wit:

EBDITA = Earnings before I tricked the dumb auditor.

EBIT = Earnings before irregularities and tampering.

CEO = Chief Embezzlement Officer.

CFO = Corporate Fraud Officer.

NAV = Normal Andersen valuation.

EPS = Eventual prison sentence.
