Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrodinger are cruising down the highway when they get pulled over. The cop asks “Do you know how fast you were going?” Heisenberg says “No, but I know exactly where I am.”
The cop, thinking he’s being a smart ass, decides to search the car. There’s a box in the back seat, which he opens. “Hey, do you guys know you have a dead cat in this box?” Schrodinger says “We do now!”
Did someone mention my name? (Actually, my choice of handle has nothing to do with Schrodinger, nor any desire to harm felines - it’s simply a play on the phrase “curiosity killed the cat”).
Some great responses already. My contribution, which I’ve posted before (hell, I may have first read it here):
What’s purple and commutes? An Abelian grape.
ETA: I don’t get the joke in the OP, please can someone elaborate?
The golden rule (AUNRULE)joke or the coffee torus?
A coffee cup with a closed handle (attached to the cup at both ends) is topographically no different from a donut, it’s a torus(this is not the same as geometrically)
Two mathematicians are eating dinner at a restaurant and arguing about mathematical knowledge in the general population. The pessimistic one says most people don’t know any math, at best they know enough arithmetic to balance their checkbooks. The optimistic one disagrees and says a lot of people remember the math they learned in high school and college.
The pessimist goes to the bathroom, and while he’s gone, the optimist calls their waitress over and says to her “In a few minutes, I’m going to ask you a question, and I want you to reply ‘one third x cubed’.” She says “What?” He says, “just repeat after me, ‘one third x cubed’” She walks away muttering “one third x cubed”.
The pessimist returns to the table and they resume their argument. The optimist says, “ok, let’s just try an experiment. We’ll pick a random person, like, say, our waitress, and ask her a math question.” He calls the waitress over and says, “excuse me, can you tell me what is the integral of x squared dx?” The waitress replies “one third x cubed”. The optimist says “Ha, there, you see?” As the waitress is walking away, she calls back over her shoulder, “plus a constant”.
