<p>Tell us one.</p>
<p>An engineer, a mathematician, and a physicist are each sentenced to die by the guillotine. As the physicist is led to the guillotine, she decides that she’d like to observe the blade as it falls, perhaps to verify v=at, and she requests to be strapped in face up. The executioner agrees (why not? it all pays the same…), and straps her in. As the blade falls, it sticks about two thirds of the way down. Seeing this, the crowd cheers - the physicist must be innocent! So the exectuioner unstraps her and sets her free.</p>
<p>The mathematician is next. Being well versed in matters statistical (perhaps she is an actuary), she quickly asks to be placed face up as well - after all, the odds of it happening again are pretty good, especially if the initial conditions are similar. So the excutioner obliges, and once again, the blade sticks about two thirds of the way down. Again the crowd cheers, and the mathematician is also set free.</p>
<p>Finally, the engineer. Not willing to do anything in public that is different from her peers, she, too, requests to be placed face up. As the executioner is strapping her in, she’s looking up at the blade and studying the track in which it slides. As she does so, she notices something. “Do you see that?”, she asks. “About one third the way up? If you fixed that there…”</p>
<p>With engineers, solving problems is not just a financially rewarding occupation, it’s a compulsion.</p>
<p>o man lololol MORE MORE MORE <em>ENCORE</em></p>
<p>haha, that’s really good…</p>
<p>psssh… old</p>
<p>right </p>
<p>mmmm junior mints</p>
<p>I only got it after 10 seconds of reading it lol. I’m kinda slow qieh it comes to reading jokes.
can someone tell my why I keep reading what i missed in this thread?</p>
<p>probably not. we are all too smart to understand that</p>
<p>yeah, I can see that :rolleyes:</p>
<p>ahahhahaah that was good</p>
<p>i told that joke to everyone i know and no one got it…I had to explain it, and thus killed what little funnyness it had.</p>
<p>that sucks. also, the joke I told was kind of old and not too funny. I can’t find any really good engineer, physicist, mathematician jokes and it makes me sad :(</p>
<p>yeah… jokes should never be explained…
it’s not like it was that hard to understand either…</p>
<p>I hate it when people point out the joke in my cheekily witty comments.</p>
<p>That’s ballin’, snoopy.</p>
<p>I love you.</p>
<p>That’s ballin’, too.</p>
<p>I regret teaching you that phrase.</p>
<p>I love EVERYONE.</p>
<p>But only because it’s almost Valentine’s Day. I made Valentine’s Day cupcakes :)</p>
