Ken Gargett Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 i thought some were brilliant. some i have no idea. 1
Stanislaw Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Nerrrrd!!!! I actually found a good amount funny and understood more than I expected.... Still prefer your humor and sarcasm instead....
cigcars Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 What no responses yet? Yikes - one came in as I was making MY comment!
Ken Gargett Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 i rather like 18 but i'm not sure why. 1
HarveyBoulevard Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I read some and feel quite intelligent then read others and wonder what I did in school for 19 years. Off to google to edumacate myself. 1
Ken Gargett Posted March 13, 2014 Author Posted March 13, 2014 6,7 and 19 are my favorite. i did like 7. might try that at the pub one night. the comment about getting one and feeling clever and then reading the next one and not having a clue - spot on.
Fuzz Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 i rather like 18 but i'm not sure why. Maybe then you'll like this one: A father who is very much concerned about his son's bad grades in math decides to register him at a catholic school. After his first term there, the son brings home his report card: He's getting "A"s in math. The father is, of course, pleased, but wants to know: "Why are your math grades suddenly so good?" "You know", the son explains, "when I walked into the classroom the first day, and I saw that guy on the wall nailed to a plus sign, I knew one thing: This place means business!"

PapaDisco Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 i rather like 18 but i'm not sure why. 'Cause you've got a thing for double entendres?

Munts Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I got them all except #12??? Taken straight from Wikipedia.... The play on words lies in the similarity of the abbreviation for October/Octal and December/Decimal, and the coincidence that the two representations equal the same amount ().
Skyfall Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Taken straight from Wikipedia....

I don't ever want to "get that"! 1

GreenPosiden Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 The Buddhist monk one was missing the 2nd part. A Buddhist monk walks into a pizza joint and asks the guy to "make me one with everything". After paying for the pizza, the Buddhist monk asks "I gave you a $50, where's my change?" The pizza guy replied, "change comes from within". 3
Philski Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 yes, i was trying to work out why it was funny. Even knowing the 'answer', it's not that funny. No.16 made me chuckle out loud.
LordAnubis Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I liekd 4, 7, 10 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. I have no idea what a logician is. And number 11 just doesst make sense.. im pretty sure the correct word is deionise (in chemistry it is anyway).
earthson Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Couldn't figure out #12 for the life of me. Of course, I'm a Civil/Environmental and not Electrical/Computer, so we don't really deal with different numerical bases. Several of these are really good! An old favorite (stop reading if you've heard this one): Two chemists walk into a bar. The bartender says, "What'll ya have?" The first chemist says, "I'd like a glass of H20." The second chemist says, " I'll have a glass of H20, too." The bartender serves up the drinks, both quaff em, and the second chemist dies. <buh-dump chhhhh!> 1
earthson Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Alright, one more: Q: What's the difference between apathy and cynicism? A: Man, whatever...
dangolf18 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Explanation, courtesy of Reddit on 12: “We use the Decimal base (shorthand DEC) for our number system. Octal is another base system (shorthand OCT) if you convert Decimal 25, it is equivalent to OCT 31.”
KoreanCowboy Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 7 and 18 are my picks. It's nice that we all seem to understand most of them. I would say that our educations are at a pretty good level, seeing as it appears that we all come from different backgrounds and levels of education. 17 didn't make much sense until the pizza part was added, then it was funny.
ejewell Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I like them mostly. Being a chemist. I just didn't get #3
Guest rob Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 I like them mostly. Being a chemist. I just didn't get #3 It's a play on written word, versus the word as heard. First and second both heard to say: "I don't NO", which means the third guy answers for the group, with "yes".
