By saying "it would begin to climb downward for a very, very long time" you have already put a good spin on it, Sethomas. Better than "plunges", "spirals down the porcelain bowl with a big 'ka-Whoosh!'" or "plummets like a fat stockbroker off the 35th floor" which are worse. I remember some tough times in the 70's where cutting back on hygiene, eating neighborhood pets and grazing the outdoor bistros for pizza crust sustained many a Berkeleyite.

Everyone should have a shoe box full of Krugerrands in the closet to get through the hard times. It's just prudent planning.
