Today's joy comes from The Muppet Show - Season One
. (Which by the way, is available on DVD.) It's as Sam The Eagle describes as "My never-ending struggle to uplift these proceedings here are two distinguished professors, Doctor Arnold Nood and Frederick Nik, to discuss post-Dickensian economics." Of course, they are played by Peter Ustinov and Fozzie Bear. Ustinov best explains post Dickensian economics with a story.
Once upon a time there was a man named Benny. (What else?) Who was visited by his fairy godmother. Now Benny's fairy godmother promised him that he would live forever under one condition: that he never, never shave again. Isn't that some condition? Now Benny never shaved after that. And do you know what? He lived to be 175 years old.
Now one day Benny happened to meet a beautiful girl. It happens to anyone. And he fell in love. And the beautiful girl asked Benny to shave his beard off. When the fair godmother heard that Benny had shave, she got that mad. She turned Benny into a Grecian urn. And that only goes to prove the economic theory of "A Benny shaved is a Benny urned."
