I was reminded of this anecdote, although it strays from the subject 
somewhat. Several years back a prominent university hired a leave 
replacement for a macroeconomist. The replacement turned out to be a 
specialist in the economics of fisheries, of all things. Some wag suggested 
that it was a simple misunderstanding: the replacement obviously thought 
the school had been advertising for a mackerel economist.
