Reasons To Study Economics

"Economic Test"*

*An economist is back in his old college town many
years after graduation and decides to drop in on one of his old
professors.

He happens to see a copy of an exam sitting on the
desk, so he picks it up to look at it.

Upon deciding that it looks familiar, he comments
to the professor that it is the same exam that he had taken 10 years ago.

The professor assures him that this is correct, but adds
that this time the answers are different.

"Reasons To Study Economics"*
*{For Rena H. in Merrick, NY}

1. Economists are armed and dangerous: "Watch out for our invisible hands."

2. Economists can supply it on demand.

3. You can talk about money without every having to make any.

4. You get to say "trickle down" with a straight face.

5. Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwarzenegger both studied economics and look
how they turned out.

6. When you are in the unemployment line, at least you will know why you
are there.

7. If you rearrange the letters in "Economics", you get "Comic Nose".

8. Although ethics teaches that virtue is its own
reward, in economics we get taught that reward is its own virtue. .

9. When you get drunk, you can tell everyone that
you are just researching the law of diminishing marginal utility.
