I subbed in for a Matrix Algebra class. Sent students to the blackboard to find the product of matrices. Told them: " Go forth and multiply".
When God created the animals, He said to them: "Go forth and multiply". But the adders complained: "We can't multiply, we're adders." So God built a table out of logs. He put the adders on the log table, and the adders multiplied.

70's ??? Heck, I was doing that in the mid 50's, though the screen was a bit smaller.
Did you also act as the antennae compensator.
"Stand right there. No. A little to the left. Perfect picture."

It's in code.
Opposites attract.
I can't say what the opposites are doing in the third panel, but just say it has something to do with the birds and the bees, which leads to,
Multiplication.

Haha, yeah true!

Although incidentally, I've heard a rumor that bass players are the person in a band that "scores" the most, statistically speaking. This, of course, has no bearing on anything and is practically a violation of the rules as it's very much hearsay. Just thought it important to get it out there for the parents who hear the first line in your suggestion. :woot:

Jokes about musicians build their own category. There are countless. The shortest one is:

Two musicians pass a pub.

I know this is not supposed to be funny at all, but at my math level it is demoralizing to the point of tragicomedy:

I'm sure it's as short as possible, but it's the most horrendous piece of math I've ever seen:

EDIT: An extremely good question would then the be why I "read" stuff like that, and the sad truth is that I dont' know! Perhaps I need help! With my math! :woot:

Today I learned that in Germany one can be criminally charged for water butt theft. This ‘murrican also learned what a water butt is!

https://www.theguardian.com/society...nd-i-fear-theyre-on-the-right-side-of-history
Swabians are the German counterpart to Scots, mainly because the region was historically poor. That changed, but the attitude of frugality remained the same. Whereas the whole world sings about love, the Swabians sing: "Schaffe, schaffe, Häusle baue, und net nach de Mädle schaue" (Work, work, build a house and don't look after the girls). That says a lot. They are also famous for a rigorous regulation of living together, such as how high a hedge is allowed to be, when and how often the sidewalk must be swept, etc.

A theft is a theft, so the police are mandated to investigate it, e.g., it could be illegal entry onto the property or, in case of recurrence, will be. However, chances are high that there won't be any further legal actions. The responsible public prosecutor may dismiss the case due to its triviality. The police may not make this decision.

Actually it was ....

""The Plunge of the Petunias: A Quirk within Quirk Within this cosmic tapestry, a singular scene emerges that crystallizes the novel’s essence. As the starship Heart of Gold makes an erratic jump through space, a pot of unsuspecting petunias and a seemingly ill-fated sperm whale are created out of thin air. Amidst the gravitational freefall toward the planet’s surface, the pot of petunias utters its infamous line, “Oh no, not again.” ""

Was just about to point this out when my phone ran out of power.

EDIT: Oh. It did get posted!
EDIT2: Ah, petunias!

EDIT3: What a geeky joke! We should almost be ashamed of ourselves!

Stumbled across this one. Zubrin's concept is so farfetched I think it probably belongs in here:
