(11,085 posts)A farmer's chicken won't lay eggs. He calls a physicist for help. The physicist does some calculations and he says, "I have a solution, but it only works for spherical chickens in a vacuum."
And Penny's science joke:
This physicist goes into an ice cream parlor every week and orders an ice cream sundae for himself and offers one to the empty stool next to him. This goes on for awhile until the owner finally asks him what he's doing. He says, "Well, I'm a physicist, and quantum mechanics teaches us that it is possible for the matter above this stool to spontaneously turn into a beautiful woman who might accept my offer and fall in love with me."
The owner then says, "Lots of beautiful, single women come in here every day. Why don't you buy an ice cream for one of them and they might fall in love with you?"
And the physicist says, "Yeah, but what are the odds of that happening?"
