The country's biggest ketchup producer didn't anticipate the huge demand for those small packets for takeout orders and even table service (shared ketchup bottles being a no-no nowadays).

In Heinzsight, it should have been obvious to them.

There was a TV show about tomato sauce recently. If you missed it, it's still available on ketchup.

Two truck drivers.
"Do you see the bridge over there?"
"Yeah, so?"
"It says 13 feet but we are 14 feet high."
"So what. Have you seen cops anywhere?"

This is not a joke per se but I found it very funny.

I was watching a youtube video of a physicist giving a lecture and at some point he said:
"If you can generate a closed-form analytic solution, then it stands to reason that this is a faster solution than any other methods (i.e. you just plug the numbers into a formula)"
Then a mathematician raised his hand and said:
"It depends on your definition of closed-form, analytic, and faster."

And other issues:
