    how to explain what "printing money" means to the missus

    Does anyone have a linky handy for explaining this one to the missus? Missus M is struggling a little with this concept.

    I earn it, she spends it.

    Where's the difficulty? "It's just like printing money".
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Put her on the game. A man of your discerning taste - you should make a huge profit.

          explain to her that she grows potatoes, and her neighbour grows cabbages.

          a few times a year they meet and swop vegetables. She gives ten potatoes for each cabbage.

          The bad news is this, Potatoes are ready in June, cabbages are ready in September, so your missus hands over ten potatoes and gets a promise in return. I owe you one cabbage. Your neighbour writes it down, it's an IOU.
          It's also currency.

          I owe you one cabbage. I promise to pay the bearer on demand, one cabbage.


          Funny thing is, that piece of paper has nothing to do with real cabbages. You cant eat it either. Your neighbour could print the missus another one, I owe you TWO cabbages. BUT.. she might not even be growing cabbages when september comes, she might have nothing to back it up.

            I'm having my birthday party at the moment(my birthday isn't today, but, the party, it'll take a few days). You've just made an awful lot of people laugh. So your joke works in/across a multicultural paradigm.

            It was really very good. I'll buy you a pint one day.
