you know what they say about economists

I had dinner with my parents again tonight. That's always nice. I'd forgotten what good food tastes like.

We were discussing my friends' parents' marriages for whatever reason.

I'm going to have to keep this anonymous.

Dad: Well they got married right out of college, but he had that wild year in europe to run around. That's why his teeth are like that. It's the venereal disease.

The man in question is not someone I can imagine ever acquiring a venereal disease.

Dad: You know what they say about economists. That if you lined them all up end to end... it would be a good thing.

Love always,

Clara
