Two economists were out on a hike. They came across a pile of horse sh*t and one said to the other "I'll pay you $100 to eat some"
The other thinks it's funny and accepts, takes a bite and receives $100. Afterwards he challenges the first economist to do the same who also accepts, takes a bite and is given back his $100.
The original horse sh*t eater ponders and feels sad, saying "I'm not sure we really accomplished anything" to which the other replies "what do you mean? We just contributed $200 to the GDP"
