Matzo Madness

A salad bar manager said:
"We give away rolls, but instead,
Let's leaven our margin
A little by chargin'
A dollar for unleavened bread."

Dr. Goose, who - like many economists - celebrates Passover, was surprised to find this week that his local takeout salad place, where bread is a free side dish, charges $1.19 for a matzo. He surprised himself even more by paying it; such is the price of faith.

Happy Holidays to all those celebrating Easter and Passover this week!

He Hedged, and Regretted It

Said an old soybean farmer named João,
Admiring the fruits of his plow,
"My only concern is,
The money I earn is
All tied up in margin calls now."
