A horse walks into a bar.
Bartender: "Why the long face?"
Bartender: "Why the long face?"
White Horse: "Because I'm fed up with all the other bartenders saying there's a whisky named after me. It's all fake news! There's no whisky called 'Eric'!"Mark44 said:A horse walks into a bar.

Yep, the man who took the picture has been probably sufficiently far away. But in the picture: nothing at all, but the what's-wrong-list is pretty long.gmax137 said:They showed us this one in safety training at work. The caption is, can you spot anything that they are doing right?

Also, I think there are "this way up" arrows on the boxes which are pointing up. They're probably filled with boxes with arrows pointing down...BillTre said:Well, no one is directly under the elevated load (something I learned working on ships).
Mark44 said:One day, Fred noticed that the faucet in his kitchen sink was leaking, so he called a plumber to come fix his faucet.
When Joe the plumber arrived, he inspected the scene, and began taking the faucet apart. After about 20 minutes, the plumber replaced a couple of faucet washers, and put the faucet back together. Joe then presented his bill to Fred.
Fred: "What, $2000 for less than a half hour of work! That's outrageous! I'm a medical doctor, and even I don't make that much money!"
Joe replied, "Yeah, I didn't either when I was a doctor, so I took up plumbing."

It's only closed, can't you just copy what you need and post it, e.g. under Science Jokes?Ibix said:Drat. Didn't see this thread until berkeman had closed it: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/weird-circuit-board-with-only-resistors.942401/#post-5961160
D'you think if I PM him he'd reopen it so I could post an "it's futile" joke?
As with many posts on this thread, although for slightly different reasons, I'm not sure the "like" button is strictly appropriate for this...davenn said:
At least it contains a lot of physics: force diagrams, centre of gravity, stable and unstable equilibrium, torque to come, and in the last one also short circuits, free fall.Ibix said:As with many posts on this thread, although for slightly different reasons, I'm not sure the "like" button is strictly appropriate for this...
Nah, that one definitely belonged on this thread. Anyway, you shouldn't let Borg jokes spread across more than one thread. Sci-fi techno-zombies can be hard to get rid of once they're dug in.fresh_42 said:It's only closed, can't you just copy what you need and post it, e.g. under Science Jokes?
Yes, I was wondering about those cables in the foreground too. Power or telephone, do you think?fresh_42 said:and in the last one also short circuits

if you have never done it, and want some entertainment, google "ladder fails" the images and video clips are ... well OH&S would have a heart attack hahahafresh_42 said:At least it contains a lot of physics: force diagrams, centre of gravity, stable and unstable equilibrium, torque to come, and in the last one also short circuits, free fall.
That joke is impossible to understand without first understanding the joke in #4434.Psinter said:
This joke is a member of the genus canis. The species is called Canis Lupus Infinitus. Another reason to prefer members of Felis.Ibix said:That joke is impossible to understand without first understanding the joke in #4434.
But cube mugs hold more.fresh_42 said:Root beers are far better if drunk from a square mug!
True. But square mugs can only hold beer that's gone flat.mfb said:Only if the mug is larger than one.
It's always larger than one [other mug ...] ...mfb said:Only if the mug is larger than one.
Beer always goes "flat" in our 3 dimensional Euclidean flat space ...Ibix said:True. But square mugs can only hold beer that's gone flat.
But you won't get rid of the root.Ibix said:True. But square mugs can only hold beer that's gone flat.
That's ok. We like roots. They are so radical! ...fresh_42 said:But you won't get rid of the root.
What, with a cubic mug? Don't I end up with a beer and a root beer?fresh_42 said:But you won't get rid of the root.
