A physicist, and engineer and a economist are all trapped on an island
with a box of canned food that they cannot get open. The physicist
says, "If I build a fire and then we heat up the cans eventually the
cans will blow up from expanding gasses and then we will be able to
eat the food." The engineer then suggests, " If I can make a three to
one pulley system perhaps we can rig up a machine to open up the
cans." The economist then chimes in saying, " You guys are making this
far too hard let's just assume we have a can opener."

The economics professor is called up before the dean, who demands to know
why the professor has set the same exam the last ten years in a row. "I
have not", says the economist, "for though the questions were the
same, the answers were different!".
