B. Rottman is fantastic:

And people wonder why economics makes me giggly...

Today:
-He warned us about the (unlikely) threat of "Banks Gone Wild" -- you know, giving loans to ... ant farms ... and the like.
-In a massive mixed mauled metaphor, he lectured us on the importance of having "a maestro at the helm" ... otherwise our economy would... sink? get off tempo? perform poorly-sung shanties? (OH THE HORROR! Hide the women and children!)

Classics (Now with 70% more inadvertent racism!):
-In reference to a comment on beaded purses, "I saw a guy beating an octopus once... It was in Greece. I think he was getting the ink out... because we had it for dinner that night. Maybe tenderizing."
-In a bout of something completely unintended and entirely inappropriate, "Israeli women need to get on the stick and start producing babies."



Also, I now have five pair of stainless steel chopsticks. My joy is effusive.

perform poorly-sung shanties
That is the best solution for that metaphor! Although, wouldn't it be off-beat sea shanties rather than badly sung?

Don't foret some other classics:

King Solomon had 200 wives and 700 concubines. He was a busy guy.

He's a few tacos short of a combination plate.

So we just imagine Alan Greenspan sitting in his bathtub thinking up numbers. Alan Grenspan in a bathtub is not something I want to think about for too long...

Gerber: What would happen if the entire world economy tanked?
Rottman: That's generally bad.

Whoo, I'm being sneaky.
The movie is Crimson Pirate, WB 1952 starring Burt Lancaster. RENT THIS BEFORE YOU BUY IT. I was mislead because I had a cold, therefore blurring my logic and my vision, and I read "Pirates mass in underwater raids" as "Pirates in mass underwear raids". I was disappointed to say that much.
POTC ripped off a lot of stuff from this movie, so I guess it's kinda neat like that. But you thought storm troopers were inept? Pish!
