The Recovery is Frustratingly Slow, from Victor Niederhoffer

I like the semantics of the Scholarly Chair's remark "the recovery is frustratingly slow". There's something out of Mario Puzo in it. "I made him an offer he couldn't refuse" or "I don't think we'll be seeing those visitors from Chicago again". A cartoon showing a Thor Like Character with Hammer and Lightning in his belt saying something like, "I don't see why everyone is so slow to tell me what's on their mind" comes to mind or a man with a gun pointed at his wife saying, "Look dear, let's discuss this in a calm manner".
