I'll bet you'd never seen those three words together before. (Neither
had [1]google, by the way.) In any case, it's at [2]Fafblog (thanks to
[3]Hit & Run for the pointer). Excerpt:
"Insolent pot!" says Giblets. "Be more vendible!" "Giblets why are
you yellin at that pot plant?" says me. "Giblets is trying to turn
it into commerce," says Giblets. "But buying and selling it is too
much work. He wants it to be commerce NOOOOOWWW!" "Silly Giblets,
everything is commerce!" says me. "Let's step into this maaaagical
schoolbus and we will learn all about Our World Of Commerce!"
THE PHYSICS OF COMMERCE!
When you hold a ball in the air it has POTENTIAL commerce. When you
let it go the potential commerce turns into KINETIC commerce, which
makes it faaaaalllllll through the air! It is caught by Congress or
gravity. Classroom Learning Challenge: Levy a tariff on the ball
before it hits the ground! . . .
