This is great and one I hadn’t heard before.
Does anyone have any other science/geeky jokes?
I have a friend who was in a bike accident recently. Neurologically he’s fine but physically it’s going to be a long recovery. He, his wife, his adult children and most of their spouses are all massive geeks (and a couple of the kids/grandkids are showing signs that they’ve inherited those traits). I’ve started sending them random jokes like this to help lift their spirits/give them a bit of a smile when the days get hard. So anything you can share that I can pass on would be great.
@Limewater Yeah, I think those push the limits of obscurity, but my friend who has a PhD in math will enjoy them…I think…I still need to Google so that I can understand them.

@gt0163c These math jokes may be too obscure.
What’s purple and commutes?
…
An abelian grape.
A Topologist is someone who can’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground but can tell his ass from two holes in the ground.
What is the Matrix?
…
I don’t know, but my TI-86 can reduce it to echelon form.

@gt0163c Heh. Your friend with a PhD in math probably already knows them.
Here’s one I like.
@yakkoTDI Love this one!!
@yakkoTDI Love this joke, too! I inwardly get angry every time I hear the original “H2O2” joke because people think they’re clever.
@yakkoTDI
not so much a joke…
“Johnny was a Chemist’s son, but Johnny is no more.
What Johnny Thought was H2O, was H2S04”
I think my last girlfriend wants to become a physicist, said she needed to get into time and space.
How do mathemeticians cure constipation?
They work it out with a pencil.
@wickhameh
@shahnm @wickhameh You need to use a No. 2 pencil, though.
@mehcuda67 @shahnm @wickhameh No shit?
@mehcuda67 I see what you did there…
@Koolhandjoe There was another bench, but it fell apart and broke into pieces.
How do you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?
Ask them to pronounce “unionized.”
The adjective for “metal” is “metallic”, but not so for “iron”, which is ironic.
Why did the chemist hang up periodic table posters everywhere?
It made him feel like he was in his element.
