Eat the Rich.

Once in a while, I will get my grubby hands on a book to read.

Recently, Makan Guru passed me a book entitled "Eat the Rich" by P.J. O'Rouke.

The book is hilarous, with all it's jibes at economists and political leaders, coupled with it's self depreciating humour.

Excerpt:

"This is how economics is understood after two semesters at most colleges:

1. There are a lot of graphs.
2. I'd better memorize them
3. Or get last year's test.

And this is how economics is understood after three drinks at most bars:

1. There are only so many things in the world, and somebody is taking my share.
2. All payment for work is underpayment.
3. All business is crime.
A. Retailers are thieves
B. Wholesalers are pimps.
C. Manufacturers are slave drivers
4. All wealth is the result of criminal conspiracy among
A. Jews.
B. Japanese.
C. Pirates in neckties on Wall Street."

Well done on a nice blog urbanmalebitch. I was searching for information on special effects contact lenses and came across your post Eat the Rich. - not quite what I was looking for related to special effects contact lenses but very interesting all the same!

We're all getting ready for Christmas and it will soon be another year. I hope to be completing my studies in opthalmology in 2006 which includes a thesis on upcoming contact lens technology and improved eye health. I'm also planning to take a course on the excima laser, which should be fun.

If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: Contact Lens Reviews .

A merry Christmas to you and yours! Amon
