BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who always goes with function over form and substance over style. Family and friends have given up asking you out for lunch because you never pick up the check. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time waiting for visits from door-to-door solicitors trying to buy either several magazines on time travel or 500 feet of telephone cable. Be on the lookout for high interest rates. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter U, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 380486. Your preferred shopping venue is thrift stores. Your special symbol is the comma (,).
Is this You?
As a Brown Pragmatox, you are down-to-earth and practical. You are hard working and industrious. You are frugal to the point that you might even refrain from making a purchase that you really, really need. Doing so often causes problems down the road. You definitely go with function over form and substance over style.
This isn't me! What am I?

Fighting Business Cycles With STABILIZATION POLICIESAs you may recall, the twins, Donna the Democrat and Rhonda the Republican, seldom agree on anything involving politics, economics, fashion, or flower arrangements. Their imminent entry into the Interstate OmniBank can only mean trouble. Donna, in her official capacity as economic advisor to the President of the quaint and courteous Republic of Northwest Queoldiola, is attempting to enter Interstate OmniBank anxious to borrow enough to finance the Queoldiolan government deficit. Rhonda, as the head of the central bank of the Republic of Northwest Queoldiola, is making every effort to stop her. The source of this particular confrontation between the twins is apparently the best way to eliminate a year-long recession that has struck the quaint and courteous Republic of Northwest Queoldiola.
