In reply to the discussion: Weekend Economists Go for the Gusto February 24-26, 2012 [View all]Fuddnik
(8,846 posts)17. I got an early start.
I was in the garden, clearing a spot to plant sweet potatos. Dig for half an hour, have a beer. Dig another half hour, have another beer. Dig 10 more minutes. Screw it, have another beer.
What? It's only noon? Well it's 5:00pm in Moscow or Uzi-becki-becki-stan or somewhere.
Luckily, I have a fridge in the garage that is still full of beer from our turducken feast last month. When the party ended, I had more beer left than when I started. It's magic. Like supply-side economics.
