Think about this one Ron Paul

funkothealmighty (6:57:34 PM): i made 36 dollars on stocks today
artzachary (6:57:37 PM): nice
funkothealmighty (6:57:41 PM): before i left for work
artzachary (6:57:51 PM): that's a 36$ handjob
funkothealmighty (6:57:56 PM): yeah
funkothealmighty (6:58:01 PM): i never thought about it like that
artzachary (6:58:05 PM): see you should
artzachary (6:58:09 PM): i equate all my finances in terms
artzachary (6:58:10 PM): of handjobs
artzachary (6:58:13 PM): except the problem is
funkothealmighty (6:58:13 PM): i should save up for a 360 dollar handjob
artzachary (6:58:18 PM): you can get a handjob for almost any amount
artzachary (6:58:23 PM): so it's kind of pointless
artzachary (6:58:39 PM): it's like "i just made $500 on my income taxes"
artzachary (6:58:41 PM): that right there
funkothealmighty (6:58:42 PM): well but they are different qualities
artzachary (6:58:43 PM): $500 handjob
artzachary (6:58:45 PM): sure
artzachary (6:58:55 PM): but that's more a normative assessment
funkothealmighty (6:59:03 PM): and i would submit that the quality of a handjob does not change with inflation
artzachary (6:59:11 PM): hm
funkothealmighty (6:59:15 PM): so maybe
funkothealmighty (6:59:21 PM): we should use handjobs as currency
artzachary (6:59:21 PM): so maybe i'm really on to something here
funkothealmighty (6:59:25 PM): yes
funkothealmighty (6:59:30 PM): instead of the gold standard
artzachary (6:59:32 PM): the CPI should be the HJI
funkothealmighty (6:59:39 PM): we switch to the handjob standard
funkothealmighty (6:59:43 PM): yes
artzachary (6:59:45 PM): how many handjobs
funkothealmighty (6:59:46 PM): exactly
artzachary (6:59:49 PM): can $1 USD buy you
funkothealmighty (6:59:51 PM): all finances converted to handjobs
artzachary (6:59:51 PM): in japan?
artzachary (6:59:54 PM): in mexico?
artzachary (6:59:56 PM): in the EU?
funkothealmighty (7:00:02 PM): this is getting interesting
artzachary (7:00:08 PM): so we'd have to define
artzachary (7:00:11 PM): (rigorously)
funkothealmighty (7:00:15 PM): i wish i could study this as a research topic
artzachary (7:00:15 PM): the notion of partial handjobs
artzachary (7:00:17 PM): because obviously
funkothealmighty (7:00:18 PM): oooh
artzachary (7:00:23 PM): $1 USD
funkothealmighty (7:00:26 PM): thos would just be like
artzachary (7:00:30 PM): doesn't buy you a $1 handjob in the EU
funkothealmighty (7:00:37 PM): "I'm 1/360th satisfied"
artzachary (7:00:40 PM): yeah
artzachary (7:00:43 PM): like i bet
artzachary (7:00:46 PM): $1 USD gets you
artzachary (7:00:50 PM): punched in the balls by a shemale
artzachary (7:00:52 PM): in germany
funkothealmighty (7:00:54 PM): ha ha ha hah a
artzachary (7:01:01 PM): hm
