Very well, some of you did guess correctly it was an April’s Fools Day prank. I’m sure some of you are really concerned, and some of you are just plain nasty.
So what did I do on April 1st, 2007? Sex.
More specifically, sex with Elanor Tan. w00t!? Let me recap.
What started out as a normal meet-up at Starbucks led to extremely raunchy sex, and how did it happen? It started with monkeys. (ZOMG! Is this going to a post on bestiality?)
What happened was this: She was lamenting to me that she didn’t read Behavioural Economics, and had instead opted for Game Theory when she was in Cambridge. So I told her what behavioural economists study - Monkey sex. Then I gave her a grape. And said “ook”.
She replied with “ook”, and pretty soon, we were back in my room. She asked me “Are you micro or macro”. Admittedly, I like Game Theory a lot, but I’m not too good with mathematics, and to me, Aggregate Supply and Demand is a horrible subject. Tough choice. I said “Micro”.
She told me, “Don’t worry, Inflation will set in.” And I said, “only when it has the Incentive to”. She then said, “There won’t be any Barriers to Entry”. And then out of a sudden, all her clothes flew off. She looked shocked.
“The power of the Invisible Hand,” I reminded her. And so she said, “Oh, Right. Let’s get productive with our Production Functions”.
And so we climbed on one another and started it. Mid-way through, I remembered something important. “We have no protection”, I told her. She replied “Well, then let’s Assume that we have protection. Besides, Protectionism is not good for Free Trade”. I agreed with her, but silently wondered, if there were any by-product of this act of Production to produce more endorphins, would it be a positive or negative Externality.
Along the way too, we found that she has a Marginal Propensity to be tied up. “Ladies like Bonds,” she told me cheekily. “So do Banks,” I replied. Ah, the Bounded Rationality! She simply loved to be the prisoner of the Prisoner’s Dilemma. Especially with her hands tied up. LOL.
And after about 10 hours of fun, she left to go home. And I slept for the whole day and on April 2nd as well. FYI, to those who couldn’t get me on the phone on April 1st, it’s because I switched off my phone when I was having that romp with Elanor.
Ah… ’tis was an experience not to be forgotten. Our home made videos will be available for the person who makes the most insightful economics comment in this blog or her blog. Photos will be available to the person who makes the second most insightful comment.
Cool?

is it still april the first?
The sky is blue.
If it wasn’t for the mental picture it generated of your ‘micro’, I would have been pretty impressed with that piece of double entendre.
I agree with ayjk. I found it a really witty piece. Except for your ‘micro’, of which I currently know more than I’d like.
comment for the sake of commenting
“micro” refers to Microeconomics lah….
Of course, the more fun meaning would be micro meaning micromanagement.
Get that tongue out before it get stuck in your cheek! hahaha
Who said economists are boring people? Elanor definitely isn’t. Especially with her hands fixed to the headboard of my bed.
MUHAHHAHAAHAHAA
Posting for postings’ sake.
You should know by now that the internets doesn’t give 99999.
Definitely a classic case of diminishing marginal utility as the night went on if you ask me…
[...] Given that Elanor is a common misspelling of Eleanor, I’m pretty sure they were not looking for my Post-April’s Fools Day Joke, so don’t worry, Elanor, they’re not stalking you (actually, they are - look below, but anyways, those 2 IPs checked out to be American IPs). [...]
[...] Economics #2 Speaking of economics, I have to agree, it’s one topic that is like drugs. It’s supremely addictive. No wonder Elanor eats and sleeps economics (though I’d like to think she sleeps with me). [...]
[...] Five days ago, after 9 months of courtship (and you thought this was a joke)… I asked her an all important question. To which… she replied “Yes! I will!” [...]
