One benefit of the Credit Crunch/financial meltdown

Oh, actually I was aiming for dramatic irony. Did I miss the mark?

The sound financial advice you recieved was for their benefit, you just didn't realise that

The only knowledge you have about Banks, would be how to rob one.

An example of dramatic irony:

Holding back of hand to forehead
"Oh those creases will not budge from these shirts, what am I to do? Oh the pain, the pain!"

 

[Softus]

Er, no - that's just drama. And poor drama, at that.

Ok it's not quite BAFTA material but you've got to admit it brought a tear to your eye

 

[Softus]

I'm all out of tears, having read the stuff that scattyjohn was posting.

If you put some simple economic theory on a conveyor belt, with an idiot running in the opposite direction on a treadmill, and coupled it to the conveyor such that the clarity and verity of the economic theory were matched precisely by the speed and obstinacy of the idiot, would the theory ever take off?

 

[tim west]

Depends if he's running on roller skates or not i suppose

Why did I think of Dr Zachary Smith?

 

[Softus]

'Cos you fancy him?

 

[tim west]

I always think of Clive Dunn's "Dont Panic, Don't Panic" and the Robot's "Warning ,Warning" with arms waggling all over the place.

 

[Softus]

Was it that, or was it "Danger! Danger!" ?

 

[tim west]

he used both depending on the occasion or should that be it?
