A six-panel comic parodying the famous "What is best in life?" line attributed to Genghis Khan (and to Conan the Barbarian). A bearded man in a fur hat asks a robed, bearded Genghis Khan figure what is best in life. Genghis Khan answers across several panels: "To crush your enemies," then "To have them possessing at last the prizes due to economies of scale," then "And to take their wives and introduce them into the labor force!" The questioner says he can't tell whether that is more cruel or kind, and Genghis Khan replies, "I don't recognize those words." The joke twists the brutal warlord quote into the language of economic productivity. The votey (bonus panel) is a handwritten note from the author reading "No. Stop. You don't need to tell me the quote is apocryphal," signed with a small heart by "Zach" — pre-empting readers who would point out the quote's dubious attribution.
