Kspacewalk2 13 minutes ago | prev | next [-] fwo economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit. Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. I can’t help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing.” “That’s not true”, responded the second economist. “We increased the GDP by $200!” 16 Sept 2023, 20:45 530 17

      Are you assuming I dont read books because I made a joke you didnt like? Wow, you must be insufferable to be that quick of judgement.

          Do you think this joke is more or less “ignorant” than the OP?

          They’re both jokes man.

            Maybe not, but it is damn well more funny since it actually has a punch line instead of being nothing but criticism.

        You made a joke literally nobody would like, because it was a shit joke. “Trolling” hasn’t been a thing in 20 years, get on with the times.
