Scientists at their best

An astronomer, biologist, an engineer and a mathematician were crossing the border into Scotland from England on a train when they saw a field with a black sheep in it.

The astronomer said, "Look! All sheep on Earth are black."
Scientists at their best
The biologist said, "Look, in Scotland the sheep are black."

The engineer replied, "No, in Scotland some of the sheep are black."

The mathematician rolled his eyes to heaven and said, very patiently, "In Scotland, there exists at least one field, in which there is at least one sheep which is black on at least one side."

    What's funny about that is that it's exactly true.

  2. Leaving Minnesota for Colorado, I decide to make a stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go in the washroom. The first stall was taken so I went in the second stall. I just sat down when I hear a voice from the next stall...

    - "Hi there, how is it going?"

    Okay, I am not the type to strike conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to say so finally I say:

    - "Not bad..."

    Then the voice says:

    - "So, what are you doing?"

    I am starting to find that a bit weird, but I say:

    - "Well, I'm going back to Colorado..."

    Then I hear the person say all flustered:

    - "Look I'll call you back, every time I ask you a question this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me."
