Besides being a philosopher, Hume was also an economist and developed ideas that are still prevalent in the field of economics. The joke directly refers to his development of the price-specie-flow mechanism. Remember that the Python boys where HIGHLY educated. Another good example of their philosophical reasoning can be found in Graham Chapmans referee of the footballgame between the German and greek philosophers. Funny and valid.
