what with the constant banging of heads against the walls of stupidity that are encountered not just with stupid people, but with trained economists going on tv who should know better.

how about some economics jokes, even better if you make up your own

Alexander Hamilton: 'LOL, Marx is digging ditches outside you guys'
Adam Smith: 'I hope he doesn't think we're going to pay him, that **** is awkward'
Keynes: 'I find him very stimulating'
Everyone: '...'

Marx and Engels unsuccessfully chase deer in the woods and lean fatiguedly on a tree stump when Mises comes over with a bow.
"Hey guys", Mises says, "That thing will do the job. I'll give you guys two thirds of every deer you bring home if you want to hunt for me."
"No surplus value for you, capitalist pig!", screams Marx before he begins an ill-considered sprint and falls over a nearby cliff.
"Ouch. And I thought subsistence economies could not collapse", Engels sighs.

Q: How many Austrian economists does it take to screw in a light bulb?

A: We don't make quantitative predictions

I gotta dig up some old school Soviet jokes...

Karl Marx on the radio

Karl Marx wanted to appear on the national USSR radio. But Brezhnev told him:

- Even though you're the founder of communism, I can't make this important decision on my own. We have a collective government here!

Marx: - But I only want to say one sentence!

Brezhnev: - Fine, go ahead, I'll take all responsibility.

Marx gets to the mike and shouts:

- Proletarians of the world, please forgive me!

 

Marx's legacy

Q: What legacy did Germany inherit from Karl Marx?

A: East Germany received the Communist manifesto, and West Germany got the capital.
