The only joke I have really enjoyed for a long time was an economist joke, which runs as follows:

A government economist on vacation was driving through mountainous country and had to stop for a huge herd of sheep. He leaned out of the window and asked the sheepherder, "Will you give me one of your sheep if I can tell you how many are in that herd?" The sheepherder figured he could not possibly do this, and said "Sure!" The economist said, "Three hundred and sixty-seven!" The sheepherder said, "You're right! I guess I'll have to let you pick one out." The economist picked one out, whereupon the sheepherder said, "Give me a chance to get even. If I can guess what you do for a living, you give me my sheep back." The economist agreed. The sheepherder said, "You're a government econometrist!" The economicst was astonished: "How did you guess that?"

"If you will put my dog back down I will explain," said the sheepherder.

Maybe I already posted that because it is my one joke.
