Argh, I've just had a flashback to further maths A level and a really complex diagram of three cats on a roof, lots of information missing, took ages to work through it (although not particularly difficult) and it was all a set up for a mew joke!

An electron in search of a mate
Thought Heinsenberg worthy of hate
Whenever I whirl
To the place of a girl
I either miss the time, or the place, or the date

Not clever but might appeal to them mathematicians.
A man decides to hire someone to manage the finances of his company. He interviews and mathematician, statistician and accountant.
He ask all three the same question:
What is 1+1?
The mathmatician says 1+1 is 2.
The man says; “is it always 2?”
“Always says the mathmatician.
He asks the statistician;
“Before I can answer Id have to consider a variety of factors”.
He then asked the accountant,.
He looked uncomfortable, looked around the room.
“Is anyone listening to this conversation?”
“No” said the man.
The accountant leant forward and whispered
“What would you like 1+1 to be?”.
