Two economists are at a park, and see an old dog turd. One dares the other to eat half of it for $500 which he does. Then he dares his friend to eat the other half for $500. He does.
After a little while, one says to the other “I feel like those dares were pointless. You gave me money to eat shit, and then I gave it back to you for eating shit”.
The other responds, “nonsense, we just grew the economy by $1000!!”
An economist is at a baseball game when he sees a man outraged that a hotdog costs twelve dollars, and a beer costs 20. “I just wanted to have a fun day with my family, but tickets are suddenly 100 dollars! Now this?!”
What an idiot, the economist thinks. Can’t he see the revenue he’s generating?? The economist pays 64 dollars for two hotdogs and two beers, which he immediately drops on the ground, which makes him very happy.
