I was in the shower this morning when an idea popped into my head. To be precise, it was something my aunt had said with regards to BGR, something which made me think of guys as a "market" where you can pick 'em and choose 'em for yourself. This was reinforced by something my sec. sch Principal had said that had amused me terribly at the time: that when we get to University, there will be a larger "catchment area" for us. Suddenly the idea of guys took on the form of not just vegetables but fish.

So I thought, if guys were to be considered as a market, what kind of market structure would that be? (I'm sorry, I've been taking Econs tution classes, and that's what we discussed recently) I turned it around in my head before finally deciding on Monopolistic Competition. The guys are differentiated products, that's what we're going after; there's definitely non-price competition; there are many players in the market; and in the long run we make normal profit, which are the gains necessary to keep us from turning to our next best alternative.

I know this sounds a little... ... but it amuses me very much anyway. ^_^ I know, blame it all on the common tests.
