Q: Why did the economist cross the road?
A: It was the chicken's day off. Q. What does an economist do?
A. A lot in the short run, which amounts to nothing in the long run. Two economists meet on the street. One inquires, "How's your wife?" The other responds, "Relative to what?"
K: Miten ekonomi ja ekonomisti eroavat toisistaan?
V: Samalla tavoin kuin alkoholi ja alkoholisti!
I asked an economist for her phone number....and she gave me an estimate.
a timely Polish joke:
A man goes into the Bank of Gdansk to make a deposit. Since he has never kept money in a bank before, he is a little nervous.
"What happens if the Bank of Gdansk should fail?" he asks.
"Well, in that case your money would be insured by the Bank of Warsaw."
"But, what if the Bank of Warsaw fails?"
"Well, there'd be no problem, because the Bank of Warsaw is insured by the National Bank of Poland."
"And if the National Bank of Poland fails?"
"Then your money would be insured by the Bank of Moscow."
"And what if the Bank of Moscow fails?"
"Then your money would be insured by the Great Bank of the Soviet Union."
"And if that bank fails?"
"Well, in that case, you'd lose all your money. But, wouldn't it be worth it?"
I found these while googling for the source of a Wheaton koan:
When a talking bear bets you a hundred dollars and a box of wine that you can't go three rounds with a kangaroo, just walk away, man. Just walk away.
Knock-knock.
-Who's there?
Under the Patriot Act, we don't have to tell you that.
