Jokes about Economics and Economists 1. Two men are flying in a balloon. The wind is strong, they
come away from their course and they have no idea where they are.
So they go down to 20 m above the ground and ask a
passer – by, “Could you tell us where we are?”
“You are in a balloon.”
So the one pilot says to the other, “The answer is
perfectly right and absolutely useless. The man must be an
economist.”
“Then you must be businessmen”, answers the man.
“That’s right! How do you know?”
“You have such a good view from where you are and yet
you don’t know where you are!”
2.A totalitarian head of state asks for an economist with
one arm to advise the government. Why?
Because he is tired of economists who say: “Well on the
one hand … But on the other hand …”
3. In Canada there is a small radical group that refuses to speak
English and no one can understand them. They are called separatists.
