Thank Fathom it’s Friday
A sideways look at economics

Puns and perceptions
I have a confession. It was Father’s Day recently and so, being the good son that I think I am, I wrote my father a card. I wanted to incorporate a pun in the message that was comic book themed to match his interests and ‘bad’ enough to achieve the level of dad humour he is notorious for. This however was a struggle, perhaps because I am not yet a father myself and so not privy to this kind of humour. My confession is that during this struggle I gave in to the temptation to consult Chat-GPT and in the process triggered a moral dilemma.
