The physicist calculates the trajectory using ballistic equations, but assumes no air resistance, so his shot falls 5 meters short. The engineer adds a fudge factor for air resistance, and his shot lands 5 meters long. The statistician yells "We got 'em!"
A man is on his first visit to Boston, and he wants to try some of that delicious New England seafood that he'd long heard about. So he gets into a cab, and asks the driver, "Can you take me to where I can get scrod?" The driver replies, "I've heard that question a thousand time, but never in the pluperfect subjunctive."

(24,362 posts)and come up on a foursome playing E X T R E M E L Y S L O W LY.
The foursome does not wave the threesome up to play through, and after following them for 3 holes, they start to get aggravated, so they call over the course marshal.
"Look, " says the doctor, we've been trying to play through those guys for 3 holes now. Isn't there something you can do?
The marshal says "Now wait a minute, gents. Those four men are firefighters who were blinded last year while fighting a fire in our own clubhouse. They saved 15 people, saved the clubhouse from burning to the ground and lost their sight as a result. They're allowed to play here for free for the rest of their lives, so we ask you have some patience and respect."
The doctor now feels terrible for complaining and says "You know, I am colleagues with some of the finest medical minds in the country. Perhaps I can contact one of the eye specialists and find a way to help them.
The lawyer says, "Yes, I think I can rally the boys in the local Bar Association and do a fund raiser to pay for the treatment.
The engineer says....
"Why can't they just play at night?"
