Scientists figured out that birthdays are extremely healthy. With a 3 sigma confidence they have shown that people with more birthdays tend to live longer.
They also found that smoking is healthy. The longer you smoke the longer you live.

She was wondering why he has not yet told anything.His silence was killing her and so she started the conversation.

She- What’s the date today?

He- 29th Oct, 14

She- (in a cold tone) What is special about today?

He- (adjusting his tie in front of the mirror) Yes! Today’s date 29 is a prime number.

She- (little infuriated)- Anything else?

He- (thinks)- Well yes, if we write the date as 29.10.2014 then sum of digits is 19 which is also a prime number.That’s strange! But why are you asking;

(He was so excited that she has started taking interest in numbers as well. When he looks at her; she was staring at him with a look that showed- “This guy is hopelessly unromantic”

She- (tries to control her anger and asks in a calm tone) Anything special about this day dear with respect to us?

He- Yes, the sum of our wedding date 29.10.2012 is 17 which is also a prime number. See I still rememberrrrrr….Oh dang….

Hey Darling! Happy 2nd Wedding Anniversary! Oh! 2nd..great.. that’s also a prime number.

He got death stares!

Operative word "can". The probability of that happening is very low indeed :D

With a quantum mechanic, you take your car in and it's random whether it gets fixed and how much you are charged. Whereas with an auto mechanic... no, wait a minute...

Why are auto mechanics like actors?

They often have to wait to get the parts

OP: Did humans invent math or did we discover it? Does math even exist?

Reply: Listen, all we were trying to do was keep track of some sheep and then differential calculus happened.
