Being Married to an Economy Major

Alyce had Market Day at school last week. It's where all the students come up with something to sell, then everyone buys and sells their wares. Derek, having majored in Economics, started suggesting to Alyce different things she could sell. First, he suggested that she buy her booth space, then rent it out to other students at a lower cost than the teachers. Then he suggested that she have a consignment shop, where the students give Alyce a portion of the money they make for the privilege of using her booth. Finally, he suggested she talk to her teacher to see what it would take for her to sell an A. She actually asked her teacher and the teacher didn't believe her at first. She said it was the most creative idea she had ever heard for Market Day. She's going to think about it and let her know by next Market Day. I guess Derek gets an A.
