Two economists are walking down the street when they pass a pile of dog shit.

“I bet you $500 you won’t eat that” says the first to the second. “You’re on!” replies the second economist, who gamely bites into a log and happily collects the cash.

A few minutes later they pass another dog pile, so the second economist says to the first, “Now it’s your turn - $500 to eat that dog shit”. The first does, and collects his cash.

After a few more minutes of walking, the first economist says “hold on, we both ate dog shit and ended up with the same amount of cash.”

“Yeah” replied the second, “but we just increased GDP by $1,000”.

A man is in a pub. He places his empty glass on the bar and says “I bet you $500 I can piss in that cup from all the way over here and not spill a drop.”

“You’re on!” Says the bartender. So the man unzips and begins urinating everywhere. He’s pissing on the floor, he’s pissing on the bar, he’s pissing on the furniture, he’s pissing in other people’s drinks, he’s pissing on the other customers.

When he’s done, he pulls out 5 $100 bills and hands them to the bartender while laughing hilariously.

“What’s so funny?” Asks the barkeep, “you just lost $500!”

The man gestures to another man beside him and says “Yeah but I just bet him 10 grand I could piss all over the place and you wouldn’t be mad.”

Sounds like applied stupidity. Or reality. I have a hard time telling them apart these days.

Well I don't know about the domestic product, but there's no doubt about the gross
