Break ups can do that to you
And I will ignore how while commenting on a geeky post on economics you used geeky biology humour - "enlarged lymph nodes!!!" Heh.

I do agree.

I know nothing of economics and yet got that one.

The problem with such jokes is that somewhere in the universe, there exists someone who came up with this before you. It's like Spooky action at a distance. The moment Krugman wrote this; someone, somewhere made a joke about it.

@Harish
Hmmm... I'm sure someone already did and perhaps did a better job of it than me.
But just to clarify - Krugman may be a vehement keynesian but he didn't come up with IS-LM curves so probably someone came up with a similar joke looong ago.
