Economists

Stolen from a newsletter:

A party of economists is climbing the Alps. After several hours they became hopelessly lost.

One of them studies the map, turning it up and down, sighting distant landmarks, consulting his compass, and finally the sun.

Then he turns to the others and says, “See that big mountain over there?”

“Yes,” say the others.

“Well, according to my calculations, we’re standing on top of it.”
