} After much thought, the Oracle said to himself, I could give a totally
} appropriate, but somewhat lame one word answer, namely,
}
} MONEY
}
} but, I said to myself, there's got to be more to it than that, and
} after much research into some of the more obscure Tomes of Oracular
} Knowledge, I found another one word answer, namely,
}
} FJORDS
}
} You see, the Fjordist school of thoery formation teaches us to reject
} any theories that favor the rational thought/act over the irrational
} though/act, and instead blindly accept any theory that favors the
} irrational over the rational so that we might better enjoy the Fjords.
} Now, you may be thinking that the whole concept of the Fjordist school
} of theory formation as an explanation as to why economics is a science
} extremely irrational, and as such would be a Fjordist Theory, as such
} would be a bit of a paradox. Am I making any sense to you? No? Good!
} Now, it is essential to understand that paradoxical thinking is a
}
} "Orrie?"
} crucial element in learning to properly
}
} "Orrie."
}
} understand how the Fjordist school of theory formation got it's start.
} In
}
} "ORRIE!"
}
} Yes Lisa
}
} "What are you doing?"
}
} Why, answering this question for a supplicant
}
} "I can see that... Why are you running on at the mouth?"
}
} Well, it's a fairly complicated answer. You see, he wanted to know wh-
}
} "How much longer are you going to be at this?"
}
} Oh, another three or four days, depending on how well the supplicant
} can relate the the Cross-Granite Inference Patterns to the Mellanson
} Computational Equation.
}
} "You're not giving ANOTHER person that stupid Fjord theory thing again
} are you?"
}
} Well, yes, I am.
}
} "Let me see the question."
}
} <Oracle hands Lisa a piece of paper>
}
} "You're kidding, right? All of that for this?"
}
} Well, yes. I am the Oracle, after all.
}
} "Yeah, you're the Oracle all right. Listen, the answer to your
} question is Money, ok. All because of money. Now, come to bed Orrie.
} It's late"
}
} Yes Lisa
}
} You owe the Oracle a less domineering signifigant other
}
} "I heard that Orrie!"
}
} One that doesn't have such good hearing, too
}
} *SLAP*
}
} Ow!
}
} "Now get in here before I hit you again."
