Climbing the Alps

A party of economists was climbing in the Alps . After several hours they became hopelessly lost. One of them studied the map for some time, turning it up and down, sighting on distant landmarks, consulting his compass, and finally the sun.
Finally he said, ' OK see that big mountain over there?'

'Yes', answered the others eagerly.

'Well, according to the map, we're standing on top of it.

Puppies

One day a woman went for a walk in her neighborhood and came across a boy with some puppies. "Would you like a puppy? They aren't ready for new homes quite yet, but they will be in a few weeks!"
"Oh, they're adorable," the lady said. "What kind of dogs are they?"

"These are economists."

"OK. I'll tell my husband."

So she went home and told her husband. He was very interested to see the puppies. About a week later he came across the lad; the puppies were very active.

"Hey, Mister. Want a puppy?"

"I think my wife spoke with you last week. What kind of dogs are these?"

"Oh. These are decision analysts."

"I thought you said last week that they were economists."

"Yeah, but they've opened their eyes since then."

He asked him is had had lost something there.

The economist said, "I lost my keyes over in the alley."

The policeman asked him why he was looking by the lightpole.

The economist responded, "it's a lot easier to look over here."
