Economist brains
Posted by Prieur du Plessis under Humor
A shipwreck victim washes up on an unknown South Seas island, one with a surprisingly developed economic system, if based on cannibalism. Wandering penniless through the local meat market, he notices the stall selling human brains in many appetizing forms has an interesting pricing scheme; the sign over 3 glistening, bloody buckets of brains reads:
Accountant brains: 15 cowrie shells/kilo
Lawyer brains: 25 shells/kilo
Economist brains: 50 shells/kilo.
“Hey,” says the traveller, “I guess those economist brains must be pretty special. What is it, do they like, taste better?”
“No way dude,” says the brains butcher. “You know how many economists you have to kill to get a kilo of brains?!”

These two posts were among the best in along time with less conjecture and more technical
info to back up the conclusions.
Thank you very much
