    A chemist, a physicist, and an economist are all trapped on a desert island, trying to figure out how to open a can of food.
    The chemist proposes "Let's heat the can over the fire until it explodes!"
    "No, no," says the physicist, "Let's drop the can from on top of the tree onto the rocks!"
    "I have a great idea," says the economist, "First, we assume a can opener..."
    :p

    Quite true. Economics is full of theory and assumptions.
