Of the Way

If you have an infinite number of monkeys and an infinite number of typewriters, you will eventually get Hamlet.

If you have one monkey with a typewriter, you will quickly get the U.S. Code.

I thought of this while listening to Henry Hazlitt destroy John Maynard Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money on mises.org.  I originally thought of the joke in reference to the General Theory, but since that’s an obscure reference, I decided to apply it to the United States Code instead.  Either would be fitting.
