Groucho Marx - 7 Cent Nickel

7 Cent Nickle
Politics of the con Artists Gallery.

Groucho proves "if you take cranberries and stew them like apple sauce, they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does", and if you spread it on fast and thick, people will buy whatever you're selling so quick they'll forget their own name.

Note the absurd application of a Keynesian Money Multiplier effect, where inflation allows a carefully spent nickel to last a lifetime. Of course, the gentleman falls for the muddled logic and obfuscation, responding, "Captain Spaulding, I think that is a wonderful idea."
