Two hot air balloonists were blown off course. They descended, floating over a person walking on the street.
One of the balloonists leaned out and yelled down: “Where are we?”
The man looked up, thought for a moment, then earnestly replied: “You’re in a balloon!”
The other balloonist grinned and said: “That person must be a microeconomist…”
“How do you know?” his fellow asked.
“Well, he pondered the question and then gave us a completely accurate and utterly useless answer.” 😉
