The Firedrake is startled to note that this is the closest he has ever come to being paid for the subject in which he took his degree.


[Panel 1]
[Caz]
My problem isn't that I'M crazy,
it's that everyone else seems to be.

[Jaakko]
That is what I have been
saying all evening...

[Caz]
Oh, shut up, Jaakko,
there's a dear.

I wanted to see if I could
get a serious answer.


[Panel 2]
[Ginny]
Fire away, then.

[Caz]
The thing is

As far as I can see, a "toxic
asset" means "a debt that can't
be paid and probably never will
be and we don't know what it
might be worth anyway".

[Ginny]
Close enough so far.


[Panel 3]
[Caz]
So why would anyone want to
buy them from the banks?

[Ginny]
Good question. I
think the answer is

"Because you have a better
chance with one of those than
you have of winning the Lottery."

[Caz]
I was right. They are all crazy.


[Panel 4]
[Jaakko]
That was what I said...

[Bell]
Yup.

I'm sticking to not doing
the Lottery, myself.

Since I started not playing in
a syndicate, I've got several
hundred quid ahead of Mandi...
