“Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich. [...]

"But we have also," continued the management consultant, "run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying on ship's peanut." [...]

"So in order to obviate this problem," he continued, "and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and...er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances.”

“El momento en que Sony mató al SEGA de consolas y puso en sendos apuros por una década a Nintendo, fue cuando en plena E3 de 1995, se subió al escenario el presidente de Sony America, y dio el discurso más efectivo y corto en la Historia, diciendo: 299. Se refería al precio de venta de la PSX, la primera consola de la compañía PlayStation, $299 dólares. Por comparación la N64 salió $199 y la Saturn, primer clavo en el ataúd de SEGA, $399. Me parece que no hace falta decir cómo resultaron las cosas.”
