P: I brought you something, economist.

E: This picture? It looks awfully dull, photographer.

P: It's art.

E: It sucks. Where did you take it?

P: On a hiking tour in Poland, recently, in a suburb of Stargard, a town in the North-West of Poland. I thought you'd like it.

E: You didn't.

P: Don't economists talk about efficiency all the time? That's what this picture shows! An architect plans a house and then they duplicate the plan. So easy. That must save a lot of money, right? Economists must love that.

E: I don't. And obviously, you have no idea about economics. Life is not only about efficiency.

P: I'll buy that from you.

{silence}

P: Hey, economist?

E: What?

P: Maybe we should go on a journey. You'll teach me about economics, and I'll tell you something about photography. What do you think?

E: Not if you keep taking those boring photos.

P: And if I vow to do better?

E: Maybe then.

P: Sounds like a promise.

E: Sounds like you are looking for a new friend.

P: What's wrong with that?

E: Have you ever been friends with an economist?

P: No.

E: I thought so.

P: Do economists have any friends?

E: Why not?

P: Do you have any friends?

E: Mind your business!

P: Maybe we should better start walking.

E: Yeah, let’s start.
