Is this cliched? It’s old, I heard it years ago: Descartes walks into a bar and seats himself at a table. The waitress comes over and asks him “would you like the special today?” Descartes says “Oh, I think not,” and disappears. It takes me a number of minutes to compose myself whenever I tell this. I’m giggling now. ---
