    A physicist, an engineer, and a mathematician are staying in neighboring rooms at a hotel for a conference.

    In the middle of the night, a faulty outlet sparks a fire in the hallway. The physicist wakes up, sees the fire, fills the ice bucket up with water and uses it to extinguish the fire. He goes back to bed satisfied.

    A bit later, another fire breaks out. This time, the engineer wakes up, sees the fire, does a quick calculation and fills his ice bucket 3/4 full. He just barely extinguishes the fire, and goes back to bed satisfied.

    Later yet, the fire starts again. This time the mathematician wakes up, sees the fire, sees the ice bucket, announces “A solution exists!” and goes back to bed satisfied.

    How many math professors does it take to change a lightbulb?

    The answer is trivial and the proof is left as an exercise to the reader.

      This always reminds me of

      "Oh, Johnny was a chemist’s son

      But Johnny is no more

      For what Johnny thought was H20

      Was H2SO4!"

    So this atom returns to the pub begging the bartender and the patrons “Oh, good golly! I’ve lost one of my here electrons! Has anyone seen it?!”

    The owner says. “No one has reported anything. Are you sure you’ve lost it?”

    To which the atom replied, “Yes! I’m positive!”

    …

    The next day…

    Having a pint, the bartender sees the atom from yesterday and calls the ion up to the bar and says “Just yesterday, you say you lost an electron. Well we found it and here it is.” Rolling it across the bar. The atom, now very happy says “Yeah! That’s the one! Amazing! Thank you! What can I do to repay you?!”

    The bartender, with a sly wink, says “No charge.”

    An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first says, “I’ll have a beer,” the second says “I’ll have half a beer,” the third says “I’ll have a quarter of a beer,” and, before the fourth mathematician can speak, the bartender says, “I see what’s going on here,” then pours two beers.

    A couple of fun limericks:


    There was a young woman named Bright

    Whose speed was much faster than light.

    She set out one day

    In a relative way,

    And returned on the previous night.


    There was a young chemist from Ryde,

    Who drank a foul poison and died.

    It was ortho-hydroxy-

    para-methoxy-

    tri-nitro benzaldehyde!


    A woman in liquor production

    Owns a still of exquisite construction.

    The alcohol boils

    Through magnetic coils.

    She says that it’s “proof by induction.”

    Someone asks “what’s up?”

    Answer: “the cross-product of forward and left”

    (the popularity of this joke in engineering school trained me to never ask “what’s up?”)
