I like that one .... pinched
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
A. Rosalind Franklin's notebook.
An economist, an engineer, and a logician are on a train heading West. As they cross the border into Wales they look out of the window and see a black sheep in a field.
The one with the lowest µ
+wisdom for getting Dennis Ritchie into a guitar forum!
A Chemist, a Physicist, a Mathematician and a Humanities Student are challenged to measure the height of the village church's tower.
They are each issued with... a barometer.
The Chemist knows a lot about air pressure, so he measures the air pressure at the base of the tower, climbs on the roof and measures it at the top, and gets the height between 50-200 feet.
The Physicist is used to being casual with gear, so he climbs to the top, throws the barometer over the side, measures the time for the fall, and gets the height between 80-130 feet.
The Mathematician puts the barometer on the grass beside the tower, measures the length of the barometer's little shadow, measures the length of the tower's much bigger shadow, does the equal triangles thing and improves the estimate to between 90-110 feet.
The Humanities Student sneaks down the Pawnshop, sells the barometer, takes the vicar down the pub and plies him with stiff drinks until he caves in and reveals the tower is 100 feet tall exactly...
(Very old joke - "Humanities Student" might be something else these days!)
Now I have an AbstractProblemFactory.
So he calls in the auditor who takes a quick look round and pronounces "you have 20,007."
"Wow! How'd you count them so quickly?" asks the farmer.
Pointing at the sheep, the auditor starts to count "1,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7........and there's about 20,000 over there"
Cowboy: Sure boss, that'll be 200.
"Well," says the chemist, "if we leave the can buried n sand where the tide comes in the salt from the sea should corrode the metal and we can then open the lid of the can easily."
They try it. It doesn't work. They're still hungry, sitting under a tree and staring at the can of beans.
"I know, "says the physicist, "if we examine the structure of the can we can find its weakest spot and whack it with a really big branch from this tree."
They try it. It doesn't work. They're even hungrier. The chemist and the erngineer turn to the economist. "Your turn."
"simple," saye the economist, "let's assume we have a tin opener."

This is a Demetri Martin joke. He does lots of this sort of stuff. Well worth checking out if you are not familiar

The Frenchman says "I'm so thirsty, I must have some wine."
The Scotsman says "I'm so thirsty, I must have a wee dram. With a lager chaser."
The medical student says "I'm so thirsty, I must have diabetes."
