Beware of Bloggers Bearing a Bunch (of Jokes)

I like geeky or nerdy jokes.  They make me think, laugh, and then think some more.  For my favorite blogger friends, I have chosen some that I thought were funny and appropriate.  I picked the ones that reflect their blogging style.  Before you start hurling tomatoes, know that I didn’t make up these nerdy jokes!  Still, I hope you enjoy them.  If not, then go ahead and let the vegetable projectiles fly!

(In alphabetical order)

For David Bradley¹:

An engineer, physicist, and mathematician are in different hotels. The engineer wakes up in the middle of the night smells smoke runs out in the hall and sees a fire. He calculates the amount of water needed to put out the fire, fills a bucket and dumps it on the fire and goes back to bed.

The physicist wakes up to a similar situation runs out to the hall, grabs the fire hose, calculates the precise angle to put out the fire, does so and goes back to sleep.

The mathematician wakes up, walks out and sees the fire, sees the hose, says aloud “Ah a solution exists” and goes back to sleep.

For Lin Buress²:

A Freudian slip: When you say one thing and mean your mother.

For Demian Farnworth³:

What did the dyslexic, agnostic, insomniac do when he couldn’t sleep?
Stayed up all night wondering if there was a Dog.

For Farzan⁴:

How many ears did Spock have?
3, the left, the right and the final front ear.

For Brett Legree⁵:

A helicopter pilot was flying near Seattle when a bank of fog rolled in. He wasn’t able to see and couldn’t tell where to go. Suddenly, an office building loomed out of the fog.

The pilot scribbled a sign and held it up to the people in the windows, asking: “Where am I?”

The office workers wrote a response: “You’re in a helicopter.”

The pilot then immediately changed course, flew away, and made a perfect landing at the nearest airport.

His passenger asked in shock, “How did you know where we were?”

The pilot explained: “Their answer, while technically correct, was also completely useless. So I knew we had to be at the technical support division at Microsoft headquarters.”

For Periapex⁶:

What’s a double entendre?
It’s a kind of car that you can park in a very tight space.

For David Rader⁷:

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those that understand ternary, those that don’t, and those that thought this was a binary joke.

For Steve⁸:

Did you hear about the zombie string theorist that ran around yelling “Mmmmmbranes”?
