The waiter brought me a plate with 2 dots on it.
I said 'No, you fool - I asked for an omlette!'

The best bit about this thread is you can't tell if the jokes are really duff or you just don't get them

Enjoying lots, googling even more

How do you work out how many customers in a restaurant are only there for a drink?

With a binomial distribution.

Took me a moment to get that one. Like it.

B_Leach, haven't done transforms yet, doing them at the start of next year. Hopefully I'll be able to fully understand that comic then..

int 1/(cabin) d(cabin) = ?

It's not the same thing, but I just watched a musical comedy show on the BBC which was completely dependant on the listener being both a Kate Bush and a Kate Nash fan. [i]Brave.[/i]

An old man walks into the bakers - "A loaf a bread please"
Baker replies "wholemeal, white or granary?"
Old man says "It doesn't matter, I've got me bike outside."

An engineer and a physicist are both chasing the same girl (a philosopher). She cannot decide which one can have her so she sets them a challenge.
"Starting from over there you have to walk towards me halving the distance each step you take, the first one to kiss me can have me"

The physicist thinks for a minute and complains "Thats impossible I'll never get there"

The engineer walks towards her halving each step and eventually ends up 1mm from her face, leans forwards, kisses her and says " Near enough"

Two parrots sat on a perch
One turns to the other
"Can you smell fish?"

Where did Heisenberg first pronounce his principle?
Here.. no,there...over here...up there...everywhere.."Not sure he did"

Pessimists will tell you that glasses are half empty
Optimists will tell you that glasses are half full
Optometrists will tell that the second pair are half price

Proper made me giggle, that did.


Pessimists will tell you that glasses are half empty
Optimists will tell you that glasses are half full
Optometrists will tell that the second pair are half price

Engineers will tell you that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Oh, that is [i]good.[/i]

I put it down as either 'surreal' or a trick to try and make you work it out.

Also they'd need to be 2 steps away. If they were further they'd never reach, but the girl doesn't state how far they are away..

A person walks into a Glasgow bakers and asks "Is that a pavlova or a meringue?". The baker replies, "No, you're right."

No-one in Glasgow would ever ask about a pavlova. Some of them have a small piece of fruit in...

Auguste Escoffier once made a merangue-based desert as a treat for Anna Pavlova. However, no sooner had he delivered it to her than the door-bell rang again and Pavlova's dog ate it.

A glasgow school teacher explains to his student that although in almost every language a double negative makes a positive, there are no languages where a double positive makes a negative.

'Aye right' replies the student

Took me about 5 minutes to get that.

Everyone at my work mocks me for being a nerd, but tomorrow I'm going to bring a lump of coal in and show them what I'm really made of.
