See, if they Taught Economics in Sex and the City Terms...

I totally cracked up watching Sex and the City last night- and not for the usual reason of thinking Steve's "Miwanda!" will win some kind of award for most hilarious thing ever. I was watching the episode in which Charlotte goes on a run and a girl riding a horse passes her by. Charlotte has a moment, and the next thing we know, she's at the stables, Carrie by her side, about to mount a horse (since when do they have stables in NYC? I'm excited about that).
The funny part for me was when Carrie mentioned that her "three hundred dollar shoes are covered in horse manure". Three hundred dollars?! Can I get my hands on those, please? Inflation is fun.
Then I got to thinking... (yes, I totally just pulled a "Carrie introduces the theme of the episode" line, and I'm in front of a laptop, too) The show is a half-hour long... So if it were still running now, would they need to lengthen it to fit in her exclamations about "my two-thousand, six-hundred and ninety-two dollar shoes"? It certainly takes up more screen time than "three-hundred". Would they stop having Carrie mention the price, for fear of the time-slot cup runnething over?
This is all totally moot and pointless, but I'm so ready to see what kind of shoes she has on in the movie.
And will she sport... These? They're mildly Carrie-esque.

And cost $4,175.
(That's eleven syllables.)
