Assorted Jokes from Physics, Engineering, Math, etc
If it wiggles it's biology...
If it stinks, it's chemistry...
If it does not work, it's physics...
=======================================
2+2 :
So the teacher assigns to Ada, Bob, Charles and Danna to go home and figure out what is 2 + 2.
Ada, the daughter of a mathematician, asks her dad. He responds: "Well, 1 + 1 = 2. 2+ 1 = 3. 3 + 1= 4, but it can be rewritten as 2 + 2, so 2 + 2 = 4"
Bob asks his mom, who is an engineer. She takes out her HP calculator, punches in RPN the appropiate keys, and announces: "It is 4.000000000000"
Charles asks his dad, the phycisist, and he responds: "Well, it is about pi on a zeroth order calculation"
Finally, Danna ask his dad, who is an accountant: "Dad, how much is 2 + 2?" And he responds: "How much do you want it to be?"
-or-
Actually, the engineer whould say that it's about 5, but numbers aren't available that low, and we need to account for safety, so let's make it 10. Either that or 2+2=5 for extremely large values of 2.
