Lorenzo is having dinner with his girlfriend, Neha. They have already eaten a full meal and are considering whether to order dessert. Neha says to him: "These desserts are pricey. Is it worth ordering one? I'm already pretty full." Lorenzo replies: "I agree. I'm not sure the is worth the price." Lorenzo's use of the word "utility" rang a bell for Neha, who had taken an economics class. "It's the law of , isn't it?" Lorenzo replies: "That's right! It's not about whether having dessert would give us a negative utility for the dinnerit's about whether the additional satisfaction we'd get from dessert is worth the additional cost!" Neha and Lorenzo smile at each other, vowing silently to themselves never, ever to start talking econ jargon on a date again
