The Monkeys You Ordered is a tumblr of New Yorker cartoons with literal captions, and I think I’ve been enjoying them more than the real New Yorker cartoons.
Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. Because the players are always changing — the team can move to another city — you’re actually rooting for the clothes, when you get right down to it. You know what I mean? You are standing and cheering and yelling for your clothes to beat the clothes from another city. Fans will be so in love with a player, but if he goes to another team, they boo him. This is the same human being in a different shirt — they hate him now. Boo! Different shirt!! Boo!
The New Yorker explains a Time Warner Cable bill:
$14.32 — Landline you promised your parents you would keep as an “emergency backup” and now you only use to order Thai food
$1.35 — Random charge that’s too small to waste your time contesting
Seems pretty accurate to me. Reminds me of the time they accidentally revealed charging the consumer for the ads they send in the bill.
I was talking with my boss about his kids and their tricycles and, out of curiosity, I wanted to see what Big Wheels looked like in this day and age, so I hit Amazon.com to see what’s out there. I found this cool new trike that seems to convert between a big wheel and a coffee maker. What will they think of next?
During the recent trip to Philly, I saw this ad for Chick-fil-a. I thought it was cute. Never been to a Chick-fil-a, but a few people at work like it.
Tall people make more money compared to short people, and Harvard economics professor Greg Mankiw argues they should be taxed accordingly.
Should the income tax system include a tax credit for short taxpayers and a tax surcharge for tall ones? This paper shows that the standard utilitarian framework for tax policy analysis answers this question in the affirmative.
I say we already are. Big and tall clothes sometimes cost more than average height clothes. Make sure you read the full PDF of the paper. Very tongue-in-cheek. For the record, I’m 6’6”.
