A physicist, mathematician and a civil engineer are chatting and get around to simple sums.

What's 1 + 1? is the question.

From the mathematician, the answer is two.

from the physicist, 'it's about 2'

From the civil engineer, 'it's two, but we'll make it 8, to be on the safe side'.

A mathematician, physicist and logistician go hunting. They see a deer, and fire. The mathematician misses with a shot a bit to the left; the physicist misses by firing to the right. The logistician jumps up and down shouting, 'we got it'.

I know a bank-telling related one, but it isn't very good:

An oldie I learned 40 years ago, but I still enjoy this ditty:

Poor old Brown is dead and gone,
His face shall see no more.
For what he thought was H20,
Was H2SO4. Sad

TeenTimesTwo · 16/12/2017 19:52

Should that be 'His face I'll see no more' ? That would make more sense.

BrawneLamia · 16/12/2017 19:53

Why do Marxists drink herbal tea?
