HUMOR

A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer

A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer were traveling through Scotland when they saw a black sheep through the window of the train.

“Aha,” says the engineer, “I see that Scottish sheep are black.”

“Hmm,” says the physicist, “You mean that some Scottish sheep are black.”

“No,” says the mathematician, “All we know is that there is at least one sheep in Scotland, and that at least one side of that one sheep is black!”

Father is a lawyer...

While in Atlanta on vacation, Little Johnny’s Daddy took one afternoon to see historic sites Downtown.

Two young families were also in line to the see the sites. Little Johnny struck up a conversation with one of the boys in line.

“My name is Tommy. What’s yours?” asked the first boy.

“Johnny”.

“My Daddy’s an accountant. What does your Pop do for a living?” asked Tommy.

Little Johnny replied, “My Daddy’s a lawyer.”

“Honest?” asked Tommy.

Johnny replied, “No, just the regular kind.”

Contact lens

The teenager lost a contact lens while playing basketball in his driveway. After a fruitless search, he told his mother the lens was nowhere to be found. Undaunted, she went outside and in a few minutes, returned with the lens in her hand.

“How did you manage to find it, Mom?” the teenager asked. “We weren’t looking for the same thing,” she replied. “You were looking for a small piece of plastic. I was looking for Rs. 150.”

Experiment on a Dog

Some scientists decided to do the following experiments on a dog.

For the first experiment, they cut one of the dog’s legs off, and then they told the dog to walk. The dog got up and walked, so they learned that a dog could walk with just three legs.

For the second experiment, they cut off a second leg from the dog, and then they told the dog once more to walk. The dog was still able to walk with only two legs.

For the third experiment, they cut off yet another leg from the dog and once more they told the dog to walk. However, the dog wasn’t able to walk with only one leg.

As a result of these three experiments, the scientists wrote in their final report that the dog had lost its hearing after having three legs cut off.
