Profitability Is ... Transcript 1

- Ha, ha, ha. Dear all welllllcome to yet another Surrrreal radio show straight from the sublime of our author.

Tonight we'll jump ahead of our time and speak with the founder of a philosophy that will change our world as we know it.

Mr. Usethemall how did you conceive the "last action"?

- Well, it was a hot summer afternoon when I was talking with my grandpa. Poor guy was a physical wreck but what hurt him more was that he felt useless. He wanted so much to be, you know, active again. To play in the game.

I felt his pain but no matter how hard I was trying I couldn't find how he could be useful again instead of being, you know, a weight for the society. You see, I'm obsessed with productivity, boosting profitability. I can't stand stagnation. Let your workers calm down and your business will die. Un-acce-pta-ble!

And then, while watching TV and thinking about how this great machinery is based on spectacle to move the world, it came to me. Next afternoon I roughly presented to him what was to be known as "last action" or "nothing to lose" theory which is really simple. There are so much to fight for and publicity will both make both your fight and mass media more profitable. That's old-good-tested shit but there was the defect that few youngsters would play the game - lots to loose for them. But, how about the elderly? ... I still remember the spark in his eyes. He was feeling alive again. He said "you're right son - time to do my duty". He got up, walked out of the garden and next time we saw him was on TV. He had the same spark in his eyes and he was yelling some old Japanese Kamikaze shit as he was pulling the string.

- That's wonderful Mr.Usethemall, your theory will make the world a much more interesting place. After all profitability is all about making profit.

- Oh, thank you

- Fuck you.

- Oh, you think that will be profitable?

- Five Euros for your ass.

- OK.

Yup, money makes the world go around.

The rest is silence.

Or something.

Douglas Adams, I think, wrote in a book that moving around little pieces of paper (aka money) was meant as a way to beat people's unhappiness which was weird because it wasn't those papers that were unhappy. Or something like that.
