- In case you haven't seen these few cute jokes recently published in New
- Scientist, I am reprinting them here (from memory, not verbatim) without
- permission, for your amusement.
-
- (1)
- Q: Why did the physicist fall out of the tree?
- A: He was dead.
- Q: Why did the second physicist fall out of the tree?
- A: He was stapled to the first physicist.
- Q: Why did the third physicist fall out of the tree?
- A: Peer pressure.
-
- (2) Two sodium atoms are walking along the street, when all of a sudden,
- the first one says to the second one, "Darn, I just lost an electron!."
- The second one asks, "Are you sure?" to which the first replies, "I'm
- positive."
-
- (3) Three statisticians are duck hunting. A duck passes overhead, and
- the first one takes a shot and misses, about a yard to the left. The
- second one fires, but misses about a yard to the right. "We got him!"
- shouted the third.
-
- I repost here, for those few who missed it, the joke I think was the
- best of those posted here in 1992.
-
- Three guys are playing cards. The first is a doctor, and says, "You
- know, I think that a wife is much better than a mistress. You don't have
- to worry about sexually transmitted diseases in a monogamous relationship."
- The second is a lawyer. He says, "You're wrong. A mistress is much
- better than a wife. When your relationship gets stale, you just leave.
- No alimony, nasty court battles, etc." The third man is a physicist, and
- he says, "You're both mistaken. A mistress *and* a wife is best - because,
- when your wife thinks you're with your mistress... and your mistress thinks
- you're with your wife... You can do more physics!
