Quote from: TDoS on Today at 07:52 AMI can get some economists rolling in the aisles with old peak oil stories.

Economists aren't noted for having much of a sense of humor either.

Depends on the economist I suppose. Some of them are wonderfully creative and jocular and a blast. Others are much more straight laced, more like mathematicians. Can be terribly boring. Of course, I've also cavorted with mathematicians that loved economics and could fight with wild enthusiasm and vigor across the spectrum of their expertise. Both educating and a riot to watch.

I am not speaking on what they "noted" for, but rather some 30 years of having to deal with them.

Quote from: REWhen I imagine you and and economist rolling on the floor laughing about a peak oiler joke it's like imagining Epstein and Trump laughing about a joke about teaching jailbait to suck cock.

Mike Lynch was the only one you could really get that size of yuck-it-up fest going with. He was a riot. And it wasn't as you've catagorized it at all, just a couple of professionals with similar interests spitting out our personal golden oldies when dealing with the peakers and their interesting.....misunderstandings....of anything oil related. Or economics. Or the geosciences. Or drilling wells, producing oil, selling it, the oil and gas markets and stuff like that.

Quote from: REI'm sure with their sense of humor and circumstances they find it hilarious.  That doesn't mean it's really funny.

Depends on their familiarty with the topic mostly.

Quote from: REAt least here so far in all the years you have beeen posting, I can honestly say I have never found a single comment I could qualify as funny.

Of course you wouldn't. Almost no one who has fallen for a con job laughs about it after the fact.
