Two economists are walking in the park. The first economist sees a pile of dog turds and says to the other, "I'll pay you $500 to eat those dog turds." So the second economist does, and gets paid $500.

As they continue their walk, the first economist says, "You know, I can't help but feel we both just ate dog shit for nothing."

The elf raises an eyebrow and says to the bartender, "You know, that term is considered insensitive and I'll thank you not to use it...

... we prefer to be called subordinate clauses."
