An economist professor and a student are walking down the street when theysee a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk in front of them. The student goes to pickup the money but his professor stops him and tells him not to bother.

Why not?

If it were a real twenty-dollar bill, someone would have picked it up already.

Everything that can be invented has been invented.
