Fun thread to celebrate the various disciplines coming together on this board...
Please add your interdisciplinary jokes.
There was an engineer, a physicist and a mathematician. They were each given a can of beans to open, but were not allowed to use any tools.
The engineer went first. He picked up his can, hurled it at a wall and stepped back. "There!", he exclaimed as the can burst open, "easy!". He scooped up the contents from the ground and put them in his saucepan.
Then it was the physicist's turn. The physicist turned the can over, studying it carefully. Then he hit it on the ground at a very precise angle and precise speed. The lid flew off the physicist emptied the contents into his saucepan.
The mathematician stepped forward. He studied the can and carefully drew a diagram on the ground. He examined the diagram. "Now, assume it's open...", he began.

The creation scientist laid his hands on the can and said, "Our Father...."

Disclaimer: The above statement is without a doubt, the most LUDICROUS, IDIOTIC AND PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WILLFUL STUPIDITY, THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN OR HEARD.
