You can use a brick and blanket to create a brick-to-blanket ratio. With the brick-to-blanket ratio you divide the market value of a brick to the book value of a blanket, and you come up with a meaningless ratio that allows you to “evaluate” a company, it’s similar to the market-to-book ratio. ↗

It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief, as a smart man called it, there isn't even more fraud. After all, with no God, there's no one to ever call you to account, and no accounting at all if you can get away with it. ↗
