You can send in a dollar and two box-tops of Puffed Alfalfa Cere-Os and get the Paco Prize

For any category that strikes your fancy: literature, physics, medical technology, knitting, origami, dog grooming, even economics.

It's easily a better bargain than shooting for the Nobel Prize in economics: "16 Nobel economists see a Trump inflation bomb".

This is mainly just an excuse to repeat a few of my favorite economist jokes:

The First Law of Economists: For every economist, there exists an equal and opposite economist. The Second Law of Economists: They're both wrong.

Why was astrology invented? So economics would seem like an accurate science.

Economists are people who are too smart for their own good and not smart enough for anyone else's.

  2. That can opener gag is actually one of my favorites.
