BROWN PRAGMATOX
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who doesn't particular care how something looks as long as it works, as long as it does the job. 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 visiting every yard sale in a 30-mile radius hoping to buy either a wall poster commemorating the moon landing or storage boxes for your winter clothes. Be on the lookout for rusty deck screws. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter O, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 891118. 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?

The average factor cost curve for a perfectly competitive firm with no market control is horizontal. The average revenue curve for a firm with market control is positively sloped.

Gambling On A State LOTTERY

You might recall during our discussion of gambling in the entry appropriately titled gambling, that I purchased $5 worth of Super Luck-O Multi-State Lottery tickets at the Master's Sprocket convenience store. Well, the day of the big drawing came and went. I was about as close to winning as the planet Pluto is to buying a Hot Mamma Fudge Bananarama Ice Cream Sundae on a cold winter morning. At least the five dollars I paid for lottery tickets goes to a good cause. The state uses a share of the proceeds for education, and that keeps my taxes lower. If you'll excuse me for a moment, I've got another ten bucks in my pocket screaming for the chance to by some more Super Luck-O Multi-State Lottery tickets. While I'm doing that, why don't you see if this is a wise consumption move on my part.
