…and says Ouch!
25 October 2011
Paul Krugman walks into a bar, and asks How much for a scotch, neat?
The bartender looks at him, and thinks What could a Keynesian know about money? So he says One trillion dollars.
Krugman gets on the phone, calls the Fed and the White House, and they send over $1 trillion. As Krugman is drinking, the bartender remarks You know, we don't get many Keynesians in here.
Krugman replies Well, with these prices, it's no wonder!

Excellent. I've heard it in various forms, but it works in just about all of them.
