But enough about dead or aging economists and movie stars. We would actually like to recognize an economist nearer and dearer to us, Professor LaFontaine, who prepared us for a trading floor simulation by proclaiming that, "The efficient market assumes no bathroom breaks", a doctrine destined to compete with the "invisible hand". In other trading floor news, Deuce FBI is still searching for the foolish person that bought for $11 when the equilibrium was $7. We will be glad to sell "luxury commodity" goods (like corn, or sugar) to this person once he/she is identified. The Deuce also learned during the market simulation why the Junk Yard Dog (J. Dolenga) is not able to sell on Ebay, as the electronic medium disables him from barking prices in monotone louder than all other sellers to establish competitive advantage.
George 'Gesundheit' Weinmann has been showing cell phone ringers and computer chimes who's the boss with his '5 Sneeze Salute'. GeGeorgeHeight has earned the envy of the entire section, dominating the class with his patented sneezing outbursts. Deucers sitting in front of George stated that they relish being peppered with saliva and Jimmy Johns when he gets into his sneeze rage. Professors have thus far been unsure how to deal with George's unexpected and powerful eruptions, but given the strength George displays with each sneeze, they are sure to proceed with caution.
This weeks events:
Jordan Harris will present a seminar entitled "Fruit Washing: How a faucet mounted filter changed my life". Mr. Harris will also do a demonstration fruit washing and discuss how he has fit his comprehensive wash procedure into his busy B-School life.
The Deuce is looking for budding artists. If you would like to join the fun, and be a star, an audition is as easy as setting your cell-phone to "loud" in Economics class. We already have a few acts lined up, including Brian Simpson's "You've lost that lovin feelin'", Hong Liu's touching cover of Richard Marx's "Right Here Waiting", and Ulrich Fiehns rendition of "La Cucharacha". Rodney Emerson is also lined up, but you'll have to wait for Deuce "Jock Jams" to hear him sing his Steelers Chant.
Andre Taylor will be at the Ann Arbor Borders Books to promote his new children's book titled "Where's Andre?" Similar to the "Where's Waldo" franchise, the books will feature various locations around Ann Arbor with a challenge to kids to find Mr. Taylor. We are not sure if he will actually be there to sign his books or not, as that would kind of destroy all the fun of finding Andre in the first place.
After Andre's appearance/disappearance, Patience Allen will host a pinochle and bingo night at Borders Cafe, taking steps to further establish Borders as the community center that she wants it to be. She hopes this will help position Borders better in the face-off with Senior Citizen Centers that share the same target market.
