I'm always teasing the kids at work, how brilliant I am.
Today, #1 handed me a magazine, and someone said; "Do you understand any of that"?
I thumbed through the journal, and couldn't understand any of it.
On the last page, was a picture of cats, and I said; "those are cats".
King cats? was blurted out. (czar cats)
major groans.
Later, I mentioned that I was having a bad bout of gas. Someone else responded that they were having the same problem. The conversation devolved into "tooting"
The punmeister then responded; "Perhaps you're the king of tooters! (Tudors)"

How many mathematicians does it take to screw in a light bulb?
None. You can always get a physicist to change it for you if you agree to help with some maths questions.
