Humor, anyone?

[catofhope]

I am usually way too serious so I also enjoy good, clean humor.
Thought I would share this one with you all.

LOL! Yeah, I've seen about an episode and a half of that show.

Anyway, I'd contribute to this thread, but I only have science jokes...anyone interested?

Sounds fine to me.

Here is one called If Students Wrote the Bible

Instead of God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh,
He would have put it off until the night before it was due and then pulled an all-nighter.

The Last Supper would have been eaten the next morning--cold.

The Ten Commandments would actually be only five--double-spaced and written in a large font.

New edition would be published every two years in order to limit reselling.

Forbidden fruit would have been eaten because it wasn't cafeteria food.

Paul's letter to the Romans would become Paul's email to abuse@romans.gov.

Reason Cain killed Abel: they were roommates.

Reason why Moses and followers walked in the desert for 40 years:
they didn't want to ask directions and look like freshmen.



I can remember my college days and resemble some of those remarks.

Ha! As a recent graduate, I had quite the laugh. What was that about being too serious?

So here's one that I heard from another physics major a couple years ago:

One day, e[sup]x[/sup] and a constant function are walking down the street, and they see a differential operator on the other side of the road. So e[sup]x[/sup] says, "hey, let's go talk to that guy." But the constant function replies, "no way, he'll differentiate me to nothing!" But e[sup]x[/sup] boasts, "I'm e[sup]x[/sup], he can't touch me." So he walks over to the differential operator and says "what's up? I'm e[sup]x[/sup]." The differential operator smiles, cracks his knuckles, and says, "heh, I'm the partial derivative with respect to y."​

But I find that when I tell that joke to most crowds, at the end everyone is still waiting for the punchline.

The Church of the Cosmic Cheese

The true story of a 16th century Italian miller whose independent and inquiring mind led him to develop his own bizarre cosmology.

arunma,
I get the gist of your joke.
Yeah I guess some jokes are best understand by those with similar knowledge and experiences.

Having said that I think the following is hilarious.
Sadly I have had to explain to some Christians.
But I suspect SR folks will get it wholeheartedly.

A Rare Book

A collector of rare books ran into an acquaintance who told him he had just thrown away an old Bible that he found in a dusty, old box. He happened to mention that Guten-somebody-or-other had printed it.

"Not Gutenberg?" gasped the collector.

"Yes, that was it!"

"You idiot! You've thrown away one of the first books ever printed. A copy recently sold at auction for half a million dollars!"

"Oh, I don't think this book would have been worth anything close to that much," replied the man. "It was scribbled all over in the margins by some guy named Martin Luther."
