Talk is cheap. Supply exceeds Demand.<\/em> \"Lereah\"<\/p>\n

Not His Favorite Clown<\/a> What follows are a few “Economist Jokes”. Not wanting to shock anyone but all<\/u> of these were written and were being told when David Lereah was still in grade school. Here is a news flash – people who are finding themselves being “victimized” by the pronouncements of an economist have to be looking<\/em> for ways to be a victim. I’m not defending Lereah, I’ve never bothered to pay any attention to anything he (or any other economist) had to say about anything.<\/p>\n

NO major economist accurately predicted, in advance<\/u>, the phenomenal run up in prices that started two years ago. Every last one of them was asleep at the switch.

\nThere is also a joke about the last Mayday parade in the Soviet Union. After the tanks and the troops and the planes and the missiles rolled by there came ten men dressed in black.<\/p>\n

“Are they Spies?” Asked Gorby?<\/p>\n

“They are economists,” replies the KGB director, “imagine the havoc they will wreak when we set them loose on the Americans”<\/p>\n

____________
\nEconomists don’t answer to questions others make because they know what the answer is. They answer because they are asked.<\/p>\n

____________
\nThe only thing more dangerous than an amateur economist is a professional economist.<\/p>\n

____________<\/p>\n

Economics is the only field in which two people can get a Nobel Prize for saying exactly the opposite thing.
\n____________<\/p>\n

An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn’t happen today.<\/p>\n

____________<\/p>\n

An Economist is someone who didn’t have enough personality to become an accountant.<\/p>\n

____________
\nQ. What’s the difference between an economist and a befuddled old man with Alzheimer’s?<\/p>\n

A. The economist is the one with the calculator.<\/p>\n
