Watch it, guys! I'll start on chemistry jokes, and then we all lose!!!!

AARGH!

From one twisted math thread to another. I'm going to be ...

But wait, this one is actually funny without my making fun of it.

exp.: Ah! Not me. I'm e^x.

The constant function runs away leaving the exponential function quite alone. A short while later, the differential operator shows up.

exp.: Hi there.

diff op.: I'm d/ds.

exp.: Now I feel like se^x.

What does a mathematician do when he's constipated?

He works it out with a pencil.

OK, dammit, you s**tbiscuit mathematics fans have brought it on yourselves! The dreaded > CHEMISTRY JOKE< !!

How do you make Ethyl lactate?

Well, first you need to make Ethyl fornicate....

That's like a root, yeah?

Can't resist ...

An engineer, a pure mathematician, an applied mathematician and a theoretical physicist were asked to calculate 2x2.

The engineer looked up the answer in a table: 4.00.

The pure mathematician came back with an elegant, but non-constructive proof for the existence and uniqueness of a solution.

The applied mathematician developed the solution into a power series, proved that the series did not converge and abandoned an obviously unsolvable problem.

The theoretical physicists developed the solution into the same power series, did not give a hoot about convergence, calculated the first three terms numerically, and came up with 3.999989: an excellent approximation, consistent with experiment.

I think it is time for this to disappear off into the Humor forum.....
