GROUCHO MARX SAID...
"She got her good looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon."
"I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."
"I've had a perfectly wonderful evening. But this wasn't it."
"While hunting in Africa, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How an elephant got into my pajamas I'll never know"
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made." "A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five"
"Good sex is like good Bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you'd better have a good hand."
And my second to favourite...
"Marriage is the chief cause of divorce."
(I love the awesome rationale).
And the winner is..
"Military justice is to justice what military music is to music".
Oh, and what is that Sala-i-Martin thing? Is that the Sala-i-Martin I'm thinking?
Answer: YEP.
well, first, go see the website. Especially if you don't know who the heck this is. Then come back here.
Done? then I guess you've discovered that Xavier Sala-i-Martin is one of the planet's leading economists, and the author of the reference book 'Economic Growth' with Robert Barro. (and guess who selected the painting on the book's cover?)
Professor at Columbia U, hardcore Catalan independentist (Bon dia, Jordi!!!!) and pretty insane. In a good way, of course.
Oh, and apparently, he was appointed the President of the FCB (the Barca!!) (okay, he presided some sort of transitory presidency if i understood this correctly, but still).
And he hangs out, of course, with the Barca team, and with some other celebrities, including this cutie here.
They were right when they said 'Economists do it with models' (if you didnt laugh then you didnt get the joke), only Sala-i-Martin seems to be on the good side of the pun...
Oh yeah. If you happen to be interested in his economics books rather than his jet-setter life, click here or go see his books list on his webpage.

Hey there. That was fun. I'd heard a lot of the quotes but never knew he was the man behind them. LOL at the joke.
