Economic Stimulus


For a few minutes we were quite happy today. Max was dancing around in his briefs waving the winning Zimbabwean lottery ticket. That's right, $600,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwean Dollars. Our two minutes of fame and fortune ended when Anna Googled the exchange rate. Not withstanding the most recent revaluation, it was around 300 trillion Z$ to 1 US$. Thus, a massive 2 US$ were racing towards us. After postage, taxes, and obligatory government bribes Max would probably lose money. Time for a nap.
