Two businesses that can only get worse

1. Perhaps your newspaper’s funny pages includes Whatzit, the syndicated daily puzzle that takes some everyday phrase and presents it as a clever arrangement of words. For example, “nv emerald” is “green with envy” and “TTT” is “big tease.” Imagine it runs for the next 40 years. That’s 14,600 common phrases from now. Whatzit will be down to obscure taglines from the 1950s and hepcat cliches that were last uttered in 1928.

2. When a store makes a commitment to everything costing a dollar, it is guaranteeing that it will lose value precisely at the rate of inflation.
