    A photon checks into a hotel:

    “One room for the night, please.”

    “Very well, any bags to check?”

    “Nope, I’m travelling light.”

    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.”

    Three logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks: “3 beers?”

    The first one responds: “I don’t know”

    The second one responds: “I don’t know”

    The last one responds: “Yes, please!”

      An infinite number of mathematicians walk into the bar. The first guy asks for one beer. Next guy asks for 1/2 a beer. Next guy asks for 1/4 beer. Bartender slaps the next guy and gives the group two beers.

    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!"

    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?”)

    Not really a joke but there’s a youtuber I watch called Angela Collier, and she has a video titled “alkaline water …with lemon” and I about died just reading the title

    Tl;dw it takes such a small amount of acid to turn alkaline water acidic. Like even if there was a benefit to drinking alkaline water, you’re completely undoing it by adding even a drop of lemon juice

    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.”

    Heisenberg and Schrodinger are in a car. They get pulled over.

    Heisenberg is driving, and the cop asks him, “Do you know how fast you were going?”

    “No, but I know exactly where I am,” Heisenberg replies.

    The cop says, “You were going 140 km/h, were only 120 is allowed”

    Heisenberg throws up his hands and shouts, “Great! Now I’m lost!”

    The cop thinks this is suspicious and orders him to pop open the trunk. He checks it out and says, “Do you know you have a dead cat back here?”

    “We do now, you bastard!” shouts Schrodinger.

      I heard that one as Heisenberg, Schrodinger, and Ohm, and continuing from your joke, the police officer arrests all of them. Ohm resists.

      I heard another one with Heisenberg where he ran a red light and got pulled over by a cop, and tried to defend himself by saying that the speed at which he was driving, red traffic lights appear to be green because of Doppler effect (or Raleigh Scattering, I don’t recall) - and the cop smirks, “that would be some serious speed, huh?”

      I had to look up the joke.

      The Heisenberg principle says you can’t know both a particles position and momentum (speed).

      So when the cop told him his speed, he lost his position.

    Would you like to hear a TCP joke?

    I would like to hear a TCP joke.

      I will tell you an UDP joke, but you won’t get it. I will also tell you a TCP joke, and if you won’t get it, I will repeat.
