We're glad to have you Luke. Kid's leaving home at 18? LOL my friend. THEY may not be here physically but all their stuff still is! Oh - FYI - here in Westsylvania, we still address strangers as "sir" and "ma'am"and most kids till don't call their parents by their first name.

I shared with my daughter. Her boyfriend is a grad student who wants a PhD in math. She sent me these.

An engineer is working at his desk in his office. His cigarette falls
off the desk into the wastebasket, causing the papers within to burst
into flames. The engineer looks around, sees a fire extinguisher,
grabs it, puts out the flames, and goes back to work.

A physicist is working at his desk in another office and the same
thing happens. He looks at the fire, looks at the fire extinguisher,
and thinks "Fire requires fuel plus oxygen plus heat. The fire
extinguisher will remove both the oxygen and the heat in the
wastebasket. Ergo, no fire." He grabs the extinguisher, puts out the
flames, and goes back to work.

A mathematician is working at his desk in another office and the same
thing happens. He looks at the fire, looks at the fire extinguisher,
and thinks for a minute, says "Ah! A solution exists!" and goes back
to work.




More mathematician/engineer jokes for you:
________
A mathematician and an engineer are sitting at a table drinking when a
very beautiful woman walks in and sits down at the bar.

The mathematician sighs. "I'd like to talk to her, but first I have to
cover half the distance between where we are and where she is, then
half of the distance that remains, then half of that distance, and so
on. The series is infinite. There'll always be some finite distance
between us."

The engineer gets up and starts walking. "Ah, well, I figure I can get
close enough for all practical purposes."

A physicist, engineer and a statistician are out hunting. Suddenly, a
deer appears 50 yards away.

The physicist does some basic ballistic calculations, assuming a
vacuum, lifts his rifle to a specific angle, and shoots. The bullet
lands 5 yards short.

The engineer adds a fudge factor for air resistance, lifts his rifle
slightly higher, and shoots. The bullet lands 5 yards long.

The statistician yells "We got him!"

A physicist, a biologist and a mathematician sit in a sidewalk cafe,
looking at the building across the road. Two people go into the
building, then three people come out.

Physicist: "This must be a measuring error!"

Biologist: "This is proof of procreation!"

Mathematician: "If one more person goes into the building, it will be empty!"

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer are riding a train
through Scotland.

The engineer looks out the window, sees a black sheep, and exclaims,
"Hey! They've got black sheep in Scotland!"

The physicist looks out the window and corrects the engineer,
"Strictly speaking, all we know is that there's at least one black
sheep in Scotland."

The mathematician looks out the window and corrects the physicist, "
Strictly speaking, all we know is that is that at least one side of
one sheep is black in Scotland."

Maybe they only update at certain terminals???

But what kind are you Josh?

Good one Al!

Are they really Indian or just relabeled China scoots?
