Quote of yesterday... (or some other time in the recent past)

Michael (my old boss, resident water and climate change economics expert) during a guest lecture on cost benefit analysis:

"With this and 20 cents, you can make a phone call"
(translation: "_______ is useless on its own")

Reminiscent of one of my favorite quotes of his:

"If we had bacon, we could have bacon and eggs, if we had eggs."
(translation: "we don't have squat and it sucks")

I really like the bacon and eggs analogy, I feel that way right now.

I'm kind of confused...is that because I only eat Veggie bacon? Does that change the analogy for me? Like I REALLY don't have squat?

You know, this picture is going to make me super hungry everytime I look at it...

Black Crow said...

hehe, I may be switching to veggie if I give up pork like I plan, we shall see...and than we can both not have squat.

well if you're trying to lean veggie i recommend the morningstar stuff. they just came out with an italian herb chicken patty that i think is pretty good. the veggie bacon they make is ok...
