Economist

Someone who studies economics for a living. (They clearly did something bad in a former life.)

Now, who's ready for some classic economist jokes? (The jokes are classic; they're not necessarily about classic economics...some might apply to Keynesians as well.)

If you lined up all the world's economists end to end, they still wouldn't reach a conclusion.

Get five economists together and you'll end up with seven opinions.

How many economists does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Four, plus or minus three.

And a couple of hilarious Presidential quotes about economists:

"Give me a one-handed economist. All my economists say 'on one hand...but on the other.'"
-Harry Truman

"You know, I've heard that there is a new version of Trivial Pursuit...it's called the economist's edition. In this one there are 100 questions, 3,000 answers."
-Ronald Reagan
