Three men survive a plane crash on a remote island and start thinking about how to escape. The first says, ‘I’m a carpenter, I’ll build us a boat.’ The second says, ‘I’m a fisherman, I’ll catch fish to feed us.’ The third says, ‘I’m an economist, let’s assume we have a ship.’

4 peoples recount to the press the time they were stranded on a small uninhabited island. 3 of them talk about how hard the 4th made it for them because he would eat almost everything that they fished, hunted and harvested by himself and leave only leftovers for the 3 and didn’t fish, hunt or harvest anything himself.

An economist cut them off and says that, actually, the 4th did them a favor because he generated almost all the demand for fish, meat and fruits and without him they wouldn’t have had a job on the island.

Running funerals has always been good business.
