Tales From The Great Depression
It may come as a surprise to our readers that Mavis holds a masters degree in History from Harvard, and that
Sadie holds two degrees in Economic Theory and Practice. So as the Krugman Recession© marches on,
we thought it was important that we remind everyone about the infamous Wall Street Crash of the 1920's, as
it’s getting as many mentions in the news as Lilly Allen these days.
And with such levels of expertise among us, we decided it would best for Bob to do this piece:
“In October 1929, Mavis was driving down Wall Street in America in a car that she had stolen from an
American man who owed her money for a “party act” she had performed in his hotel room the night
before. Coming the other way on a motorised hotdog stand was Sadie, who was working undercover
on a moonshine case.
They collided head on, and the vehicles exploded, causing massive damage to the buildings nearby where
the money was kept and it all fell out. The sun was so hot, even though it was October, that the
money went on fire and Rambo had to come and put out the fire with the other firemen because this was
before Rambo joined the army and became a super fighting man, in fact most people just called him John
then, and some thought he might be gay but really he just liked ice cream.”
To be honest, Bob's effort was better than we expected, even if it was written in yoghurt. To learn more email bob@randomshite.co.uk
