Economics is the painful elaboration of the obvious...yeah right.

A study of economics usually reveals that the best time to buy anything is last year. - Marty Allen

And finally, a poem of economics

If you do some acrobatics with a little mathematics it will take you far along. If your idea's not defensible don't make it comprehensible or folks will find you out, and your work will draw attention if you only fail to mention what the whole thing is about. Your must talk of GNP and of elasticity of rates of substitution and undeterminate solution and oligonopopsony.
