Examples To Use in Class

As I help grade the multiple choice section as carefully as possible, Bryan furrows over his students' handwritten attempts at economic theory.

Reading over questions 16-20, I giggle. Bryan is using the country of Dortugal (Strongbad, anybody?) and for his goods: Pogs and Slammers in his international trade section. I asked Bryan if he knew that he was the coolest professor ever. Of course, he's bashful and tells me to stop. But then he listed for me all the great (and eccentrically Bryan) examples he uses for his students.

Dr. Buckley's Top Examples of Goods
-rubber ducks
-slinkies
-skip its (commercial - I was a skip it addict as a child)
-rubber chickens
-koosh balls
-toobers and zots
-legos
-drunks
-wine and cheese
-orphans and movies: Brad and Angelina (comparative advantage)

I want to take his class next fall.
