Two economists were walking down the street. One saw a dog shit on the ground, and told the other: “If you eat that, I’ll give you thousand dollars.” Other guy looked at it, thought “It’s bad, but I’ll get $1000”, and ate it. His friend paid him, although he still regretted it because it was really bad. After some time, they encountered another dog shit. This time the guy who ate it before, seeking revenge of the foul taste in his mouth, offered $1000 for eating it to his friend. He accepted, thinking “I’ll gain the $1000 I lost”. He ate it and got paid. After some time, they stopped for a while, and one said to other, “I feel like we just ate shit for nothing”, his friend replied: “Oh, come on! We just contributed to the GDP by $2000, it can’t be for nothing!”
