God to his son:
"Hey Jesus, wanna see a cool reaction using quantum fluctuation?"
Less than a Planck second later:
"Oh damn, it says spontaneous reactions are not reversible".
bonus joke:
Electron says: "Hurry up we have no time!"
"Tell me about it"...said the Tau.

I wonder if those kids will tell you that the plural of "butt" does not need an apostrophe.

I can not express how relieved I was when writing my thesis (in the 1980s) and I got a PC with a spell checker.
Now I don't have to worry about spelling things.

I have a fraction joke but 7/5 persons won't get it
I have a chemistry joke, but still in reaction
i have a biology joke, but it is not fully developed
I have a thermodynamics joke, but i'm out of energy
I have a tensor joke but it is not invariant
I'll get my coat......
