I think that the margin of error is likely to be pretty large for a poll of one.

I am in the early stages of Alzheimers, and have already forgotten nearly everything I've read.

If I read it again, and analyze it again, does that cut the margin of error in half?

There's a paradox about a barber in a town who only shaves people
who don't shave themselves.


Anyway, when this barber shaves a person, what does he use?



He uses Occam's Razor.

And when the barber trims someone's hair and parts it in certain ways,
what is he doing?




He is making Dedekind Cuts.

Isn't that barber female?
So she does not need to apply that Razor to herself.

Bad math joke told to me by a physics grad student over spring break:

Halfway through a recent airplane flight from Warsaw to New York, there was nearly a major disaster when the flight crew got sick from eating the fish. After they had passed out, one of the flight attendants asked over the intercom if there were any pilots in the cabin.

An elderly gentleman, who had flown a bit in the war, raised his hand and was rushed into the cockpit of the 747. When he got there, took the seat, and saw all the displays and controls, he realized he was in over his head. He told the flight attendant that he didn't think he could fly this plane. When asked why not, he replied,

"I am just a simple Pole in a complex plane"

A barber is busily working away when a young man pops his head into the shop and asks how long it will be until he can get his hair cut. “About two hours”, say the barber. “Alright, thanks.” says the young man, who then leaves and never returns for his hair cut. About a week later he pops in again and asks how long until he can get a cut. The barber indicated that he would be ready in about an hour, so again the young man left and didn’t return. A few weeks later he shows up again with the same question. “I can get you in in about three hours” says the barber, and again the young man leaves. So this time the barber asked his associate to follow the young man and see where he goes. He wants to know why he keeps losing the young man’s business. “He’s probably going to that new place up the street”, the barber mumbles. His associate leaves and returns a time later. “So where is he going?, asked the barber. “To meet your wife” replies the associate.

I was following this truck driver on the highway for a while and he kept stopping, getting out and tapping the side of his truck with a pipe and getting back in. A few minutes later, he stopped, got out, rapped on the metal sided truck and then got back in again! Every few minutes he would get out and repeat this. I was curious, so I pulled up beside him and asked, "Hey, why do you keep doing that?". He replied "I've got a 3 ton truck and 6 tons of chickens back there, I need to keep half of them flying".

I tried to invent a TV recorder using milk, it didn't work very well the first time, all I got was a load of white noise.

The second time round it worked so I decided to watch it although I didn't spend to long on it, I just skimmed through it.

hmmm... wasn't sure if a "pen is broken" joke was appropriate, but I'll push the envelope.
