Oh my… I’ve been laughing at an email by my prof for about an hour in here. I thought about a problem for a long time last night (a model of bargaining is usually about price, and I have basically trade in goods that I’m dealing with so it doesn’t really fit). So finally I came up with a possible application of the models, but I wasn’t sure if that was just the caffeine talking, so I dropped an email to my prof (the one who stole my original thesis topic!) and asked “a quick (an possibly very stupid) question”.

He replied and basically suggested the same solution I had come up with earlier (seems I’m smarter than I thought) and ended with “Question not very interesting!” I was like “what the h***?” but then realised (it’s more obvious in Finnish) that he’d just changed his thought mid-sentence, and gone from “question not at all stupid” to “question very interesting”. But yeah, my question is boring. *grin*

And yes, I’m truly in a state where that has amused me to no end for about an hour.
