The semester is nearly over. That means the end of economics classes with my hilarious professor. So here is a second post dedicated to him and his perspective on life. Enjoy these rantings of an economist:
"If you want to make a lot of money, you need to work for the government or be productive. I took the government route. But I recommend most of you take the productive route."
"If you're short and lousy at shooting, you're probably not playing college basketball. If you're short and can't shoot, there is no point to your existence." (This was while explaining why it's good if the opposing team fouls your short players in the final minutes of a game. Because if a guy is short, he must be a really good shot or he wouldn't be playing.)
"We should have Hollywood take over the government. Then everyone in the government would be really good looking."
"Light houses are just decoration now. They're like earrings on the coast."
"If you want to blame someone in our country, find the median voter and kick his ass."
"It's just as wrong to eat a car as it is to eat a horse."
"Trying to measure happiness is like trying to measure how much people enjoy eating snickers."
"Oprah is one of our cultural over-lords. Her and Taylor Swift."
I hope you've enjoyed this edition of Rantings of an Economist. I'm sorry that this is the end of the series.
Just a thought, fail the class so you can continue this series... fine. Pass. Get good grades and deprive us all of the smiles he provides ;)
ReplyDeleteHow has lori commented before me!? Are we your biggest fans? Haha
ReplyDeleteThis part 2 had some pretty dang good rantings. I liked it best. I am sad it is over. What a completely random teacher!
That is brilliant Lori! How did I not think of that? And I really do feel cool when the two of you comment on my posts, because it makes me feel like I actually have fans. And I'm glad that you particularly liked this one Jashley.
