Chuck Norris vs. Credit Crunch
By Glenn Roberts, Jr., Thursday, September 27, 2007.Bookmarking Sites
Bloomberg's Mark Gilbert considers the credit crunch and asks, "What would Chuck Norris do?"
Gilbert notes some popular sayings about actor and martial artist Chuck Norris, such as "Guns don't kill people, Chuck Norris Kills people" ... and adds a few more along the lines of the U.S. credit crisis.
He offers: "Here, then, is the world of money recast in Chuck Norris terms":
- "Chuck Norris doesn't target inflation. He roundhouse-kicks it until it begs for mercy."
- "The tears of Chuck Norris would supply enough liquidity to solve the credit crisis. Too bad he never cries."
- "Chuck Norris doesn't borrow at the Fed's discount window. Chuck Norris LENDS at the Fed's discount window."
- "Chuck Norris Asset Management made 50 percent on its subprime mortgage-backed bond fund last month."
- "Chuck Norris has a trade surplus with China."
The list goes on, this is just a sampling.
