GREAT ECONOMICS JOKE I HEARD ON MADTV OVER THE WEEKEND
SPEAKER ONE: “What do you think of the plans for the Federal Government to spend $750 to bail out Wall Street?”
STREET HUSTLER: “$750 billion is too much man! You only need twenty five cents to get bailed out! If I’m in the joint, I just borrow a quarter, I make a call to my old lady and I say, ‘hey, mamasita, come down and bail me out!!!’”
ANOTHER GREAT ECONOMICS JOKE
“After lecturing in San Francisco, [the great economist Ludwig von] Mises was being driving around the City. Their driver left the throughway and drove onto a city street lined with bars, restaurants and nightclubs. Mrs. Mises [the professor’s wife] called the Professor’s attention to the signs [which read] “Topless Bar,” “Bottomless Bar,” [and] “Stark Naked Girls.”
[Professor and Economist] Mises commented, “Very bad for the clothing industry.”
