A bit of Schweser humor

LeChiffre

Book 2, page 103, in the section on econ see the paragraph under Figure 11. The first two sentences make me laugh.

"... does not mean that a world with only one brand/type of toothpaste would be a better world."

Yes, Schweser authors, the thought of a world with just one toothpaste to choose from makes me shudder.

It's sure as hell better than a world with no toothpaste to choose from!!

A dystopian vision indeed. Wait till they monopolize the toothbrush industry.

Yea the Schweser notes can be a little humorous at times.

I remember a question in the L1 notes from 2013 that used three companies: Klatu, Verata & Nicktu. Anyone who saw the cult classic Army of Darkness would get the reference. I took a picture of the problem and sent it to my friends, thinking it would get a good laugh. Unfortunately, I was so delirious from studying that I really overestimated the fact that my friends would get this obscure reference imbedded in a complex finance problem and they all wrote back something like , "Looks like Klatu has a leverage issue" haha

In the Soviet Union, there was only one brand of toothpaste.
