Calling My Bookie

So the Nobel Prize in Economics was announced and 1/3 went to someone at the University of Chicago. Duh! He is the 80th person from there to be awarded the prize. I can't imagine being in that department, what must feel like the few, who haven't made the trip to Sweden. Do the others tease them or mock them? Use word play like, "thanks for reviewing that manuscript for me that was very noble." Maybe they have Swedish-themed luncheons or leave little Swedish flags here and there. In any event, if I were an economist, I would try hard to get a position at the University of Chicago. Eventually, all roads seem to lead to Stockholm.
