A fellow decided to go somewhere via hot-air balloon and got lost. Looking down, he saw a guy standing in the middle of a field, so he decided to ask for directions. "Hey", he called, "excuse me, could you tell me where I am ?"

"Sure", the guy on the ground replies, "You're inside a hot-air balloon, ten meters from the ground."

"You wouldn't be an economist, would you ?", asks the guy in the balloon.

"Actually I am, how did you know that ?"

"Because you gave an answer that is as correct as it is useless.", says the balloon guy.

"Oh yeah,", says the economist, "well I'd say you're a politician."

"Yes I am, how did you know that ?"

"Well, you had a destination to reach, but chose a tool that was inadequate for the job. You made no plans and brought no instruments that could have helped you. And now that things aren't going as you expected, you're blaming an economist !"
