make any.
2. Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwarzenegger both studied
economics and look how they turned out.
3. When you are in the unemployment line, at least you
will know why you are there.
4. If you rearrange the letters in "ECONOMICS", you
get "COMIC NOSE".
5. Although ethics teaches that virtue is its own
reward, in economics we get taught that reward is its
own virtue.
6. When you get drunk, you can tell everyone that you
are just researching the law of diminishing marginal
utility.
7. You can't be wrong; only subject to an unexpected
asymmetric shock.
8. An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow
why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen
today.
