OT: mathematical humor

[Catherine]

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.

The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer.

The bartender says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers.

They will never finish 2 beers.

I heard this as how many steps to walk across a room, if you walk 1/2 the distance then 1/2 the distance again ( 1/4 of the room). then 1/2 the distance again (1/8 of the room). When will you reach the opposite wall?

as long as you can walk faster than the speed of light, then yesterday. :P

C'mon guys, you know that five out of four people don't understand fractions.

(I said that in front of my three kids once. The boys grinned. The daughter goes, "Whaaa?")

I said this on a school bus once, and everybody got mad.

If there are five oranges and you take away two, how many do you have?

If I take away two, then I have two oranges. This one is older than I am!
