I love that joke, but I hate that there are so few people I can share it with. ---

### My wife left me because of my obsession with algebra. She’ll always be my X. * * * ### Doctor, Doctor, I think I’m a harp! Hmmm… You look a little small to be a harp. Doctor, are you calling me a lyre? * * * ### Some people are larks, good in the morning; others are owls, best at night; and then there’s seagulls… who don’t care what time it is so long as you’ve got some chips. * * * ### McDonald’s has unveiled a Christmas advert completely created in AI… making it the first thing they’ve ever done that’s more synthetic than the food. * * * ### I always get the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon confused with the Dunning-Kruger effect… which serves as an oddly frequent reminder that I’m not as smart as I think I am. i.e. The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon is where the increased awareness of something produces the illusion that it’s happening more frequently. The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where people with low ability in a specific area overestimate their competence, while experts often underestimate theirs, because the less skilled lack the meta-cognitive ability to recognize their own shortcomings, and experts assume tasks are easy for others. ---

I’m not sure whether to be slightly insulted that the Prof felt a need to explain this joke to us, or to be appreciative of the subtle comic genius of giving an explanation for a joke about the Dunning-Kruger effect 😏 ---

_(An oldie - probably goes back to vaudeville - that I love)_ A man telephones the Law Offices of Rabinowitz, Rabinowitz, and Rabinowitz. _(ring)_ “Rabinowitz, Rabinowitz, and Rabinowitz.” “Yes, may I speak to Rabiniwitz?” “He’s not available.” “OK, then let me speak to Rabinowitz.” “He’s not available, either.” “Fine, can I speak with Rabinowitz, then?” “Speaking.” ---

I had reason to look up Euripides just now. I found a picture of a [sculpture of Euripides](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Euripide_(cropped).jpg/500px-Euripide_(cropped).jpg). I told my wife, ‘Back before Polaroids, you had to carve people in marble.’ Anyway: **Knock, knock**. Who’e there? Euripides. Euripides, who? Euripides trousers, you mend-a deez trousers! ---

> [@Mean\_Mr.Mustard](#): > > Ha ha, yeah, I also like the “you don’t say” bit. When I was about 8 years old I was in some sort of show, maybe a cub scout thing. I did the “you don’t say” bit. It’s one of my childhood memories. I didn’t realize that this is a popular routine until this thread. ---

The worst job I ever had was working at a factory that made little Dracula statues. Since there were only two of us working there, I had to make every second count.
