Explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog.

You may learn something.

But the frog dies.

From Historian Mary Beard, (awesome lady) I recently learned that many jokes from Ancient Rome are preserved Perhaps lame by today's standards, though I rather like them:

http://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/mar/13/roman-joke-book-beard

...Beard's favourite joke is a version of the Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman variety, with a barber, a bald man and an absent-minded professor taking a journey together. They have to camp overnight, so decide to take turns watching the luggage. When it's the barber's turn, he gets bored, so amuses himself by shaving the head of the professor. When the professor is woken up for his shift, he feels his head, and says "How stupid is that barber? He's woken up the bald man instead of me."

My favorite:
Another "identity" joke sees a man meet an acquaintance and say "it's funny, I was told you were dead". He says "well, you can see I'm still alive." But the first man disputes this on the grounds that "the man who told me you were dead is much more reliable than you".

When chemists die, they barium.

Saw this while surfing the net. It's supposed to be a pun, but I don't get it. Been thinking for a while, still nothing. Looks like my General Chemistry I and II aren't enough for me to get this.

It so is. Somewhere upthread, there's a picture of Chemistry Cat (a Blofeld type furry cat in glasses and a labcoat) telling it, which is even lamer.

What can I say ? the youngest at that time now reached late 40s and all others middle to late 50s. But true, Na has always been an exciting chemical element to play with in high school, from which kind of sick but beautiful concoctions can be obtained by multiple reactions with not one, but many other metals.

That reminds me.

What was the owl's telephone extension number?
2820
This assumes you pronounce "0" as "oh"

(That also works for PIN number.)
